I just walked Hadrian’s wall in April 2023 - took my time spent a few days exploring several spots - most excellent walk. Loved the wall - can’t even find enough words to express how magic it was ♥️🇨🇦

I can't stop watching the narrator's hands. They do the same movement over and over and over with every - single- word - he - says. It's mesmerizing. I have no idea about anything regarding Hadrian's wall, but I watched his arms flail over a hundred thousand times now.

A while ago when i was a school boy the teacher asked us ,,"where was Hadrians wall ?",to which the smart lad next to me replied "behind Hadrians house".

I JUST finished writting and submitting a paper on this subject for my college class on Roman history

Standardizing the fort also helps with construction and maintenance. They would know how much material was needed to build it and how best to maintain it based upon their experience at other locations.

I'm a Northumbrian and that is the best weather I've ever seen at Housesteads.

Sound is NOT muffled. Excellent production and super informative. Thank you!!
-
I love the idea that this huge empire that fought huge hoards of savages, barbarians,warrior armies across the planet and planted it's flag anywhere it chose then met the Scot's and thought 'fk that ! Let's just wall it off and call that the end bit "
-
The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.

That was absolutely fascinating and thank you so much, it was utterly brilliant. I grew up near Newcastle and I’ve always felt lucky and privileged to be brought up near such a of historical interest re the Roman Empire. Thank you again.

Went to see the remains of the garrison on hadrians wall in the lake district at 0:15, absolutely loved it and the museum, I like how much the romans left behind them when the empire fell. Lots of documents of normal roman life in britain. Also bought a cheeky roman legion shield mug from the national trust

Can you imagine what some poor soldier from the middle east was thinking when he found himself in northern England?
-
Facinating! I very read a lot about this time.in history, but this is the best program I'that really brings it to life! Bravo!

I really enjoyed this. It made it even better to put all 3 episodes together. Tristan's comment about the barrack room being "cozy" may have been a bit off the mark. By putting 2 sets of 4 high bunks in there, there would've been a fair amount of room. Certainly enough for a table where 4 of the soldiers could've played cards or dice. You have to remember that during the day these guys would've been out building, patrolling, and other jobs they might've been assigned. Aboard a modern naval vessel there might be even more in the same amount of area.

Tristan seems like a great guy and a great host.
-
Weather was mentioned a few times but it is worth remembering it was upto 5deg warmer back then.
-
Love to visit the wall
-
A quite comprehensive 3-part documentary of Roman Britain! Excellent content guys, thanks for sharing.

Sound is oddly muffled. Hadrian's Wall, like everything Hadrian did--Pantheon, elevation of Hellenic culture--is fantastic. If you visit, be sure to visit the nearby beautiful Neolithic Castlerigg stone circle.
