1. Title: Aerial Reconstruction of Housesteads Roman Fort (Vercovicium), Northumberland This aerial reconstruction drawing, created by Philip Corke, provides a captivating bird's-eye view of Housesteads Roman Fort, also known as Vercovicium, located in Northumberland, England. The fort, a significant historical landmark, is an essential part of Hadrian's Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Housesteads Roman Fort, constructed around AD 124, is one of the most complete and best-preserved Roman military sites in Britain. The fort's strategic location on the Whin Sill, a natural volcanic rock outcrop, provided excellent defensive advantages. The fort's layout is evident in this drawing, with its rectangular shape and internal buildings arranged in a grid-like pattern. The fort's primary function was to protect the northern frontier of the Roman Empire from potential invasions. It housed a garrison of around 800 soldiers, as well as their families and support staff. The fort's amenities included barracks, a hospital, a commanding officer's house, and a bathhouse. The intricate details in this aerial reconstruction drawing highlight the impressive engineering skills of the Romans. The fort's walls, made of turf and stone, are clearly visible, as are the surrounding ditches and the roads leading to the fort. The drawing also reveals the location of the nearby civilian settlement, which grew up outside the fort's walls. This aerial reconstruction drawing offers a unique perspective on Housesteads Roman Fort, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the rich Roman heritage that continues to captivate and inspire visitors to Northumberland and beyond.
