EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Milecastle 39" transports us back to the ancient Roman era in Northumberland. Taken by the talented photographer Emma Trevarthen in 2018, this stunning image showcases Milecastle 39 on Hadrian's Wall amidst a picturesque snowy landscape. The snow-covered terrain adds an enchanting touch to this historical site, emphasizing its significance as a frontier defense structure. Built by the Romans during their occupation of Britain, Hadrian's Wall served as a formidable barrier against potential invaders. Milecastles like this one were strategically positioned along the wall at regular intervals to provide additional protection and act as garrison bases for soldiers. As we gaze upon this print, our imagination takes flight, envisioning Roman soldiers patrolling these very grounds centuries ago. The intricate stone walls of Milecastle 39 stand tall and proud against the wintry backdrop, reminding us of their enduring strength and resilience. Emma Trevarthen's expertly captured aerial perspective allows us to appreciate not only the architectural grandeur but also the vastness of this historic monument. It serves as a reminder of our rich past and invites contemplation about how civilizations have evolved over time. This print from Historic England is more than just an aesthetically pleasing piece; it encapsulates history frozen in time – an everlasting tribute to both human ingenuity and nature's transformative beauty.
