EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Roman altar stone IC048 / 094. Excavated from Chapel Hill at Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall, this inscribed stone holds immense significance in understanding the ancient Roman civilization. What makes it even more intriguing is its unconventional re-use as a door jamb before finding its rightful place in the museum at Chesters Roman Fort. The illustration, skillfully drawn by Frank J H Gardiner between c. 1985 and c. 1989, beautifully captures the intricate details of this ancient artifact. Every stroke brings to life the weathered texture and delicate engravings that adorn the surface of this historic stone. As we delve into its story, we are transported back in time to when Hadrian's Wall stood tall as a symbol of power and protection for the Romans. This altar stone served as an important religious object for worship during those times. Now carefully preserved within Chesters Museum, this illustration allows us to appreciate not only its visual aesthetics but also serves as a testament to our commitment towards preserving our rich heritage. Frank Gardiner's artistic talent shines through his meticulous attention to detail in capturing every aspect of this significant archaeological find.
