With the coming of the Roman General Gaius Julius Caesar to Britain in both 55BC and 54BC, life changed forever for the tribes inhabiting the British islands. Emperor of Rome Antoninius Pius succeeded Emperor Hadrian on his death in AD 138. It was Antoninius who gave orders for the Roman Army to march into Scotland. Under his instructions the new Roman frontier was built: The Antonine Wall in Scotland. The Antonine Guard belong to a History Society driven to inform on Scotland's ancient history. The Sixth Legion stood as example and source for research for the modern Antonine Guard. A founder member of this Society, John S. Richardson grew up with a fascination for civilizations of the past and has a lifelong interest in the history of Egypt, Greece and Rome. This book he wrote especially for you.

As the most advanced frontier construction of its time, and as definitive evidence of the Romans' time in Scotland, the Antonine Wall is an invaluable and fascinating part of this country's varied and violent history. For a generation, from about AD 140 to 160, the Antonine Wall was the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire. Constructed by the Roman army, it ran from modern Bo'ness on the Forth to Old Kilpatrick on the Clyde and consisted of a turf rampart fronted by a wide and deep ditch. At regular intervals were forts connected by a road, while outside the fort gates clustered civil settlements. Antoninus Pius, whom the wall was named after, reigned longer than any other emperor with the exception of its founder Augustus. Yet relatively little is known about him. In this meticulously researched book, David Breeze examines this enigmatic life and the reasons for the construction and abandonment of his Wall.

An up-to-date and in-depth historical study of the northern Roman frontier in Britain - why was the military conquest of Scotland never completed and what were the criteria governing Roman policy over the centuries? The idea of the Roman frontier immediately conjures up pictures of Hadrian's Wall with its forts and other remains, and of the Antonine Wall in Scotland. These two structures, however, represent two elements in a story which took a great deal longer to evolve and which, if taken in isolation, tend to mask a clear appraisal of the way in which the frontier in Britain actually developed. What, after all, did the Romans want to achieve in Britain? Why did they not capitalise on Agricola's victory at Mons Graupius in AD83 to subdue the entire country once and for all? How did the idea for a physical barrier evolve? And why, after all the effort of building Hadrian's Wall, did the emperor Antoninus Pius embark upon fresh conquest in Scotland? This book is intended primarily as an historical treatment of the Roman military occupation in Britain up until the early third century AD, although it does also describe the later history of the frontier zone.It draws upon archaeological evidence, but is not intended as a guide to the remains of Hadrian's and Antonine's Walls. Rather, it aims to set these spectacular fortifications into the broader context of Roman military plans.

"In this new book, David Breeze tells the story of the Roman invasion of southern Scotland in the second century A.D., the building of the Antonine Wall, its occupation and abandonment. The material used to describe these events includes contemporary coins and literary sources together with inscription and sculpture from the wall itself, as well as the archaeological remains of the monument. The unique distance slabs not only record the process of building, but also provide a series of snapshots depicting the preparations, invasion and victory achieved by the Roman army over 1800 years ago, and stunning new photography by David Henrie of Historic Scotland illustrates all aspects of this most northerly Roman frontier. Both scholarly and beautifully illustrated, Edge of Empire underlines the reasons why the Antonine Wall has been proposed as a World Heritage Site."--BOOK JACKET.
