Ave, Magnus!<br>
Yeah, that's a good one. It deals quite well with the more recent history of the Wall, "archeological" surveys of it in the 18th and 19th centuries, various stories and myths associated with the sites, etc. Shows lots of artifacts found along the Wall. Also has two of my favorite Embleton illustrations: one is a condemned soldier being stoned to death against a wall by his buddies; the other is a unit entrenching in a downpour--THOSE guys look miserable!<br>
<br>
Happy reading! Vale,<br>
