Abstract

"The Hadrian's Wall Military Way: A Frontier Road Explored" by D. Armstrong is a book that examines the Roman Military Way, a road that runs between Hadrian's Wall and the Vallum. The author, Dave Armstrong, uses modern technologies and on-the-ground observation to show that the Military Way was a single entity built to a standard width and gradient. Armstrong suggests that the road was not intended for wheeled traffic throughout and likely extended from Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway. The book also provides a thorough investigation of the available literature on the Military Way and serves as a guidebook for exploring the road today. [Extracted from the article]
