Hadrian (r. AD 117-138) is known for his restless & ambitious nature, his interest in architecture & his passion for Greece & Greek culture. This book & exhibition move beyond this image to give a new appraisal of this Emperor, exploring the sharp contradictions in his personality & his role as a ruthless military leader, against the backdrop of the events of his 21-year reign, in which he travelled throughout his empire. As ruler, Hadrian consolidated & strengthened the empire rather than continuing the campaigns of his predecessor Trajan. Individual chapters of the book look at Hadrian the man as an individual; Hadrian the military leader & strategist; Hadrian the amateur architect who created magnificent buildings such as his villa at Tivoli (an empire in miniature); Hadrian the lover who deified his male favourite Antinous after his mysterious death in the Nile; & Hadrian the traveller who tirelessly roamed his empire & its boundaries. The book will conclude with the legacy of Hadrian, including a discussion of the genesis of Marguerite Yourcenars famous Memoirs of Hadrian, about to be turned into a major Hollywood film. This important & timely book is richly illustrated throughout with key works of art -both celebrated & less well-known sculptures, bronzes, coins & medals, drawings & watercolours from major international museums & other public & private collections. ...

Hadrian's Wall Path is the National Trail of some 84 miles (135 km) linking Wallsend, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, with Bowness-on-Solway on England's west coast. The Path shadows, for its greater part, the historic line of Hadrian's Wall; it lies within a landscape of dramatic contrasts, starting amid bustling, redeveloped Newcastle & finishing on the lonely shores of the Solway Firth. This is the complete, official guide for the long-distance walker or the weekend stroller. National Trail Guides are the official guidebooks to the fifteen National Trails in England & Wales & are published in association with Natural Engl&, the official body charged with developing & maintaining the Trails. ...

Located at the far-flung & wild edge of the Roman Empire, Hadrian`s Wall was constructed by Emperor Hadrian in the 120s AD. Vast in size & stretching from the east to the west coast of the northern part of Britannia, it is the largest monument left by the Roman empire
- all the more striking because it lies so far from Rome. Today, it is one of the most visited heritage sites in the country. Yet the story of the Wall is far more than the development of a line of fortifications & the defence of a troublesome imperial frontier. Generation after generation of soldiers served there, with their families as well as traders & other foreign & local civilians in & around the army bases. The glimpses of this vibrant, multinational community in Adrian Goldsworthy`s masterly book bring the bare stones to life. Goldsworthy also considers why & how the wall was built, & discusses the fascinating history, afterlife & archaeology of this unique ancient monument.

Stretching 73 miles from coast to coast & reaching a height of about 13 feet, Hadrian`s Wall should have been counted as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Today, a World Heritage site, it stands as the most imposing monument north of the Alps & attracts millions of visitors a year. Yet, despite all the excavation & research that has been carried out, this is the first detailed guide to be written for many years. Having first dealt with the practical questions of transport, clothing & maps, Guy de la Bedoyere explains why & how the Wall was constructed. With the help of almost 100 sketch maps, drawings & photographs, he then conducts the visitor, stage by stage, along the full length of the Wall, providing map locations, route & parking instructions, details of access & opening times, & a full account of everything that can be seen. He also covers the outpost forts, the forts & settlements to the rear (South Shields, Corbridge & Vindolanda) & the local museums which house so many of the artefacts discovered along the Wall. This indispensable guide-book concludes with a list of dates, a glossary & a summary of all the key sources. ...
