Part of Hadrians wall in England, near Black carts turret
Hadrians Wall (Latin: Vallum Aelium), also called the Roman Wall, Picts Wall, or Vallum Hadriani in Latin, was a defensive fortification in the Roman province of Britannia, begun in 122 AD in the reign of the emperor Hadrian. It ran from the banks of the River Tyne near the North Sea to the Solway Firth on the Irish Sea, and was the northern limit of the Roman Empire.
A significant portion of the wall still stands and can be followed on foot along the adjoining Hadrians Wall Path. It is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern England and was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a part of Hadrian's Wall in England, near Black carts turret. Hadrian's Wall, also known as the Roman Wall or Picts Wall, was a remarkable defensive fortification built during the reign of Emperor Hadrian in 122 AD. Stretching from the banks of River Tyne to Solway Firth, it marked the northern limit of the Roman Empire and remains an iconic symbol of ancient civilization. Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site stands as a testament to history and attracts countless visitors who are fascinated by its rich heritage. The image showcases a significant portion of the wall that has withstood the test of time and can be explored on foot along Hadrian's Wall Path. Its imposing presence against a dramatic sky evokes feelings of awe and admiration for those who encounter it. The photograph beautifully captures not only the architectural marvel but also highlights nature's beauty surrounding it. A solitary tree adds an enchanting touch to this ancient structure while reminding us that time marches on, yet some things endure. As we gaze upon this print by Frans Sellies from Fine Art Storehouse, we are transported back in time to witness an era when boundaries were defined by stone walls fortified for military protection. It serves as a reminder that our present is intricately connected to our past and invites us to explore and appreciate the wonders left behind by ancient civilizations like Ancient Rome.
