Description

Pioneering merchants and traders, soldiers’ wives and children, and slaves are among the many civilians who settled alongside the Roman army at Hadrian’s Wall. These people’s lives can be traced through the things they left behind. Children lost socks and wooden swords when they played, while wives and daughters wore fancy hairpins that fell out when they went to the bathhouses. Hunting dogs were fed and bred for soldiers’ sport, and slaves wrote letters and kept fort hypocausts burning.

Claire Millington pieces together the wide-ranging archaeological evidence to reveal these people’s stories. With a fascinating selection of images and thoughtful insights, this book will inform and change how you think about everyday Roman life at this remote frontier, the most-visited Roman remains in Britain.
About Claire Millington
Claire Millington is a Roman archaeologist, academic and writer. Her love of Roman archaeology was sparked during a posting to Rome for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, after which she undertook a master’s degree in Classical Studies through the Open University. Her PhD is from King’s College London where she is a Visiting Research Fellow. She is a huge public archaeology fan so she was thrilled to work on the Time Team excavations of Broughton Roman villa (2021 and 2022), as well as surveying and recording river foreshore archaeology with the Museum of London Archaeology Thames Discovery Project, and excavating Roman forts at Vindolanda.
