Granary, Birdoswald Roman Fort, Hadrian's Wall

Granaries or Horrea, built 205-8 AD by Hadrian's own first cohort of Dacians under commanding officer Aurelius Julianus, at Birdoswald Roman Fort, on Hadrian's Wall, Cumbria, England. Hadrian's Wall was built 73 miles across Britannia, now England, 122-128 AD, under the reign of Emperor Hadrian, ruled 117-138, to mark the Northern extent of the Roman Empire and guard against barbarian attacks from the Picts to the North. The wall was fortified with milecastles with 2 turrets in between, and a fort about every 5 Roman miles. This fort is managed by English Heritage, and the Hadrian's Wall Path, an 84-mile coast to coast long distance footpath, runs alongside the Wall. Picture by Manuel Cohen
