Romans on the Solway
For more than twenty miles down the coast of the Solway in north-west Cumbria, the northern frontier of the Roman empire, constructed under the orders of the emperor Hadrian in the second century AD, consisted of a turf and timber fortlet every mile with two stone towers between each fortlet – a military installation every 300 metres. This replicated the system on Hadrian’s Turf Wall, with intervening forts but without the continuous barrier.
This book, written in honour of Richard Bellhouse, examines the Solway frontier in detail, and includes a new, complete schedule of the military installations.

Roman Maryport and it's setting
Since the sixteenth century the inscribed and sculptured stones found in and around the Roman fort at Maryport have been lovingly collected by successive generations of the Senhouse family, and kept in the family home at Netherhall until their transfer to the Senhouse Roman Museum in 1990.
This book, a collection of essays in memory of the late Professor Mike Jarrett, explores some of the questions prompted by the Roman discoveries at Maryport.
