Vallum (Hadrian's Wall)
text:
The Vallum is a huge earthwork associated with Hadrian's Wall in England. Unique on any Roman frontier, it runs practically from coast to coast to the south of the wall. It was built a few years after the wall. Current opinion is that the Vallum demarcated the southern boundary of a military zone, bounded on the north by the wall. The earliest surviving mention of the earthwork is by Bede who refers to a vallum, or earthen rampart, as distinct from the wall, or murus; the term is still used desp
