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. ...

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. ...

Hadrian’s Wall & the nearby archaeological Roman remains on a light, waterproof & tear-resistant map from the English Heritage with the base map from the Ordnance Survey 1:25, 000 Explorer series. The map presents in six panels the whole course of the wall including its sections across the present day Newcastle, plus the adjoining area along the Irish Sea coast. Cartography of the Ordnance Survey Explorer series has its standard colouring faded out to provide a clearer base for highlighting all the elements of the Roman frontiers which can be readily depicted at this scale. The map shows not only the wall & its fortifications, but also nearby camps, civil settlements, temples, bathhouses, quarries, watermills, kilns, etc, distinguishing between visible sites & those no longer there but known or strongly presumed to have existed. All the panels have the lines of the British National Grid at 1km intervals. ...
