A scholarly study of all aspects of the Wall – e.g. the appendices are on Roman Emperors and Governors of Britain, the regiments on the Wall, the gods worshipped on the Wall, the Roman names of the forts, and the evidence still to be seen on the ground.  See the description (below) from the dustwrapper flap.

Still in print as a Penguin paperback at £14.99 – this is a proper sewn hardback, and much easier to read and use.
