The remains of Milecastle 39, near Steel Rigg, Hadrians wall, England
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 the remains of Milecastle 39, a testament to the ancient Roman fortification known as Hadrian's Wall. Stretching from the River Tyne to the Solway Firth, this defensive structure marked the northernmost boundary of the Roman Empire. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of British history and culture, Hadrian's Wall attracts countless visitors each year. In this image, we see two people standing amidst the tranquil surroundings near Steel Rigg in Northumberland, England. The towering stone wall stands tall against a backdrop of rolling hills and a serene lake, showcasing both its architectural grandeur and integration with nature. The ruins evoke a sense of awe as they stand weathered by time yet still commanding respect. The grassy meadow surrounding them adds an element of tranquility to this historic site. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded not only of ancient civilizations but also our responsibility for environmental conservation. Frans Sellies' photography skillfully captures both the beauty and significance of this iconic landmark. This print serves as a reminder that even in ruinous state, structures like Hadrian's Wall continue to inspire us with their rich history and serve as reminders of our past achievements in architecture and military strategy.
