Hadrian's Wall Development

Hadrian's Wall is a window into the life of Roman Empire at this time. There is probably much we can discover about the Late Roman period by doing further exploration around the Anastasian Wall. There are several forts which have never been excavated, and therefore little is known about their configuation or the lives of the soldiers that were garrisoned there. It should also be noted that the British Heritage Funds spends 3 to 4 million pounds per year on Hadrian's Wall. Hadrian's Wall attracts 50,000 visitors per year and employs many related to the tourists that visit the site. It is hoped that one day the Turkish government one day recognizes the value of the Anastasian Wall. Go to: http://www.pasthorizons.com/index.php/archives/02/2011/9473
