Description: | Hadrianic Milecastle building inscription (frag.).
This is a particularly important inscription because it proves conclusively that the Roman Wall was built on the orders of Hadrian, whilst the name Nepos dates the stone and therefore the wall to AD122-4. Before the discovery of this stone, pre 1757, at Hotbanks the prevailing theory was that Hadrian had built the Vallum and Septimius Severus built the Wall. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.britisharchaeology.52 | Go to resource |
