Rough Castle J.R. Joyner, III 21 March, 2017

Background on the Wall Advance into Scotland under Antonius Pius Antonine Wall – 39 miles long from the Firth of Forth to the Firth of Clyde Construction began around A.D. 142-144 15 ft. broad tone foundations, with 12 ft. high turf, probably topped by a wooden walkway with wooden breastwork Ditch on north side 12 ft. deep and 40 f.t wide 19 total forts, one per two miles Rough Castle is the best preserved

Basic Information Constructed c. 142 Located Bonnybridge and Falkirk, Scotland Second smallest, but best preserved fort Roman name unknown Home to 500 Auxiliaries of the Sixth Cohort of Nervii (from NE France) In addition to control of the region, it provided a projection of Roman power Largest Roman coin hoard in Scotland in nearby town Oldest known example of a Scottish tartan, Falkirk tartan, c. 3rd cen. A.D.

Fort Layout Two sections: the fort proper and a later annex Contained a headquarters, granaries, commanding officer’s residence, barracks, and a workshop; as well as a bath house in the annex Military road running to the south along wall Large pits called lilia for additional defense in front of north wall Fighting and destruction by fire c. 155 Abandoned in around A.D. 162 with Roman withdrawal from Scotland

Discussion Do you think that the purpose and function of the Antonine Wall and its forts were the same as Hadrian’s? Were the socio-political dynamics such that these structures were mostly a show of strength to preserve order, or were they intended to provide a strict delineation between the Empire and the barbarians of the north?
