Reviews

‘The contents are impressive both for the breadth of subjects tackled and for the editors’ success in securing contributions from a series of key figures. Leafing through the volume lays bare how much thought and hard work goes into protecting Hadrian’s Wall and presenting its archaeology to the public.’ – Matthew Symonds (2022): Current Archaeology (issue 393)

'The collected papers help to illustrate the wide variety of ways in which researchers, curators, community members, re-enactors and artists are engaging with Britain’s most famous Roman monument. They also clearly illustrate the changing agenda for researching the Wall and some of the opportunities for further collaborative work.' – Richard Hingley (2023): Antiquity Vol. 97
