EDITORS COMMENTS

This evocative reconstruction drawing by Philip Corke transports us back in time to the Roman auxiliary infantry's rigorous combat training sessions within the hallowed walls of Birdoswald Roman Fort, nestled in the picturesque Cumbrian countryside. The year is likely to be around AD 122, during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, as the fort was established around this period. The Roman soldiers, clad in meticulously crafted armour, are seen intently focusing on their drill instructor, poised to execute his commands. Each soldier wears a lorica segmentata, a type of armour made of rectangular iron plates, which covered the chest, back, and arms. They also carry large, rectangular shields, or scutums, which provided excellent protection against enemy attacks. The drill hall, or prateriorium, serves as the backdrop for this scene. It was a crucial structure within the fort, where soldiers honed their combat skills, disciplined their minds, and forged camaraderie. The drill hall's high ceiling and open design allowed ample space for the soldiers to practice manoeuvres and formations, preparing them for the battles that lay ahead. The Roman army was renowned for its military prowess, and the auxiliary infantry, composed mainly of non-citizens from the provinces, played a vital role in the Roman defence system. Their dedication and discipline, as depicted in this illustration, were essential in maintaining the security of the empire's northern frontier, including Hadrian's Wall. This image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of Roman soldiers, providing us with a fascinating insight into their training regimen and the importance of discipline and unity within the Roman military.
