Time for the final session, which can only mean one thing: time to introduce the keynote speaker. This year we are thrilled to welcome Prof David Breeze, who will speak about ‘A frontier for all seasons: Hadrian’s Wall from 1976 to 2026 #CALive26

What was the Vallum for, David asks. It's one thing to build a wall and dig a ditch, build milecastles and towers - but then you need to add 16 forts on the wall line - it slows everything down, and in the centre it's difficult to get materials up onto the wall line.... #CALive26

...if so, was the Vallum intended to create a temporary barrier, to seal off that area while the construction was taking place? David wonders #CALive26
