Hadrianic Society

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hadrianic Society is a historical society that was founded in 1971 under the leadership of Brian Dobson,[1] David Breeze, and Valerie Maxfield.[2] The society's interests are primarily based around Hadrian's Wall and the Roman army, but also incorporate the Antonine Wall, the Gask Ridge, and other Roman Frontier systems as well as many aspects of Roman military studies in Britain and the Empire.[2][3]

History

The Hadrianic Society developed out of a series of courses held for former students and amateurs originally involved with the excavations at the Roman site of Corbridge under the guidance of Brian Dobson. The society was covered in Current Archaeology in 2010.[4]
