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.
Closely connected to Hadrian's Wall, Vercovicium is the best preserved fort of the auxiliary Roman forts defending the Wall and the northern border of the Roman Empire. At first, the wall was intended to have forts for soldiers at some distance to the south, but soon after construction of the wall started, it was decided that forts should be integrated into the wall. Vercovicium was built overlying turret 36B and the Broad Wall foundation. Outside the fort, outside the southern gate, a sizeable civil settlement or vicus was established. The shape of the fort is like a cardgame card: a rectangle with rounded edges. Inside, it had not only barracks, but also an infirmary, a bathhouse and storage for supplies.
