EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Aerial Reconstruction of Segedunum Roman Fort at Wallsend, Tyne and Wear This aerial view reconstruction drawing offers a unique perspective of Segedunum Roman Fort, an ancient military structure located in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear. Created by the skilled graphic artists of English Heritage, this illustration provides a fascinating insight into the layout and design of this significant historical site. Segedunum Roman Fort, also known as Hadrian's Wall Fort at Wallsend, was built around AD 122 as part of the Roman Empire's northern frontier defense system. The fort, which once housed a garrison of around 800 soldiers, played a crucial role in protecting the empire from potential invasions. The illustration reveals the fort's impressive defensive features, including its rectangular shape, double-walled ramparts, and the River Tyne to the east. The fort's strategic positioning near the river allowed for effective maritime surveillance and communication along the coast. The graphic also highlights the fort's earthworks, which have survived remarkably well, providing valuable evidence of the Roman military engineering techniques used during the construction of Hadrian's Wall. The illustration's attention to detail, from the barracks and headquarters to the surrounding buildings and roads, offers a captivating glimpse into the daily life of the Roman soldiers stationed here. Segedunum Roman Fort is an essential piece of Britain's rich historical heritage, and this aerial reconstruction drawing beautifully showcases its significance as a defensive structure, a testament to Roman military engineering, and a vital part of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site.
