Quote:I would think Yuri that if anyone wants to go back to page 2 and look at our man Campbell's map of this fort, that is if they have any idea what ever about Hadrians' Wall in the City of Newcastle. They must realise that the wall has to go to the fort, that is if that drawing of it has any credibility at all. Infact I would like to know just who it was that made that drawing in the first place for half of it is speculation anyway. Indeed I would also very much like to know on what excavation evidence that anyone can say the fort lies behind the Wall to any great extent.
Well I was just about to reply to MC Bishop asking if he was sure it did not connect and if no on what grounds. Like I said, by looking at Campbell's diagram, the positioning of the fort and the outline of the wall I would personally say they do connect. Off course, we may be wrong, but I am willing to take the risk and so the reconstruction will have the fort connected to the wall.
Future historians that may have access to new evidence or know better can crucify me if they so wish :wink:
