Running alongside ROMANS: Edge of Empire is the exhibition, The Antonine Wall: Beyond Boundaries which examines the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire. For this family friendly exhibition, craftspeople have been commissioned to create replicas of rare and unusual Roman artefacts found along the Antonine Wall: a Roman wine barrel, an Iron Age ‘tartan’, and an African style portable cooker, amongst others. Each object reveals stories of how individuals and communities (now and in the past) can break down boundaries and create a space where they belong. 

 

The Antonine Wall exhibition is part of the Rediscovering the Antonine Wall Project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, that encourages local communities to develop and deliver projects to engage with the World Heritage Site on their doorstep.
