It collates and examines the archaeological evidence for the Wall, including how that knowledge has itself been constructed, and how it corresponds with multiple working hypotheses. Tacking between the existing interpretations and the constructed data, it draws the consistent elements together into an explanation centred around deterrence - the Wall as a means to inspire awe and enable punitive action. Examining both the theory and prevalence of deterrence in classical antiquity, the study emphasises the potential Hellenic influences on the Emperor Hadrian.Specialized.Description based on print version record.Excavations (Archaeology)EnglandHadrian's WallResearchCase studies.ArchaeologyMethodology.ArchaeologyFieldwork.Hadrian's Wall (England)ResearchCase studies.Hadrian's Wall (England)AntiquitiesResearchCase studies.Print version :9781407363806BAR British series ;703.https://doi.org/10.30861/9781407363806
