Offered by the educational website English Heritage and spanning nine printed sheets, this is a paper miniature of the Roman Fort of Housesteads.
Housesteads Roman Fort lies halfway along Hadrian’s Wall, built by Emperor Hadrian in the north of England as a defence against invasion from other armies or tribes.
Hadrian’s Wall stretches from Wallsend on the River Tyne to Bowness-on-Solway, and is 80 Roman miles long (73 miles).
15,000 men helped to build the wall, which was started in AD 122 and was mainly finished by AD 128.
Housesteads was one of 15 forts along the length of the wall, which housed nearly 10,000 soldiers in total. Housesteads’ original Latin name was Vercovicium, meaning ‘the place of the effective fighters’.
The fort included a barracks, hospital, granaries and communal toilets, all of which still exist today.
Oferecido pelo site educativo English Heritage e ocupando nove folhas impressas, essa é uma miniatura em papel do Forte Romano de Housesteads.
O Forte Romano de Housesteads fica a meio caminho da Muralha de Adriano, construído pelo imperador Adriano no norte da Inglaterra como uma defesa contra a invasão de outros exércitos ou tribos.
A Muralha de Adriano se estende de Wallsend, no rio Tyne, a Bowness-on-Solway, e tem 80 milhas romanas de comprimento (73 milhas).
15.000 homens ajudaram a construir o muro, que foi iniciado em 122 d.C. e concluído principalmente em 128 d.C.
Housesteads era um dos 15 fortes ao longo da muralha, que abrigava cerca de 10.000 soldados no total. O nome latino original de Housesteads era Vercovicium, que significa "o lugar dos combatentes eficazes".
O forte incluía um quartel, hospital, espigueiros e casas de banho comunitárias, que ainda hoje existem.
