Quote:I am curious to know where the vallum was in relation to the fort and bridge. In addition, was the wall connected to the fort? Where did it end before they continued it to Wallsend? I wonder if the wall [originally] terminated in the river.
It is a possibility. Paul Bidwell's 'Roman Forts' has a reconstruction of Segedunum where the wall ends at the river with a massive statue of Hadrian, which is conjectural, but probable due to the find of a colossal stone base, assumed to be the base where the statue stood.
