The soldiers protecting the northern side of the Roman Empire lived in forts right on Hadrian's Wall; the best preserved is Housestead or Vercovicium.
Some parts of the Roman fort of Vercovicium, as Housesteads is also called, are well preserved and easy to recognize, but in other places only the bare outline can be seen where once there have been structures. Towards the south-east corner, I saw Roman latrines, supposedly the best preserved of the kind in all of Britain. A drawing left little to the imagination of how the Romans went about their daily human routine here. Some of the barracks can be easily recognized, as is the granary, the infirmary and the north gate. This gave a perfect view towards the north, the terrain of the enemy of the Romans. It is here that you realize how formidable a defence this fort with the wall must have been: the open moors, the rolling hills left few alternatives to potential invaders, considering the wall extended to both sides of the island, with ample soldiers to defend it.
