EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the South Gate of Housesteads, the southern gateway of Housesteads Fort on Hadrian's Wall. The intricate stone work and masonry of this historical site are beautifully preserved, offering a glimpse into Roman life in Britain.
One of the most fascinating features of Housesteads Fort is its Roman hospital, which contains the only visible remains of a medical facility from that era in Britain. Additionally, the fort boasts remarkably well-preserved latrines, providing insight into daily life for soldiers stationed along Hadrian's Wall.
The excavation of Housesteads Fort in 1867 revealed a wealth of archaeological treasures that continue to captivate historians and visitors alike. The landscape surrounding the fort is steeped in history, with each stone telling a story of England's past.
As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel yourself stepping back in time to when Romans walked these walls and tended to their wounded at the hospital within. The Southern Gateway stands as a testament to ancient engineering and craftsmanship, reminding us of our shared human heritage across centuries.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured the essence and grandeur of this remarkable site through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its significance from afar.
