Women on the Antonine Wall

61 minutes 18 seconds · Full-length talk

A longer recording from the Antonine Wall channel invites viewers to explore women’s place in the frontier’s story.

What this video covers

This recording is published by the Antonine Wall channel under the title “Women on the Antonine Wall”. At just over an hour, it provides an extended viewing option for readers interested in looking beyond an account centred only on soldiers and fortifications.

The publisher supplies no detailed description with this upload. This overview therefore identifies the subject without assigning unverified speakers, case studies or conclusions to the recording. The accompanying women’s guide on this site provides separately sourced reading about the evidence for women connected with Roman Scotland.

When exploring this subject, distinguish named individuals and identifiable archaeological evidence from broader reconstructions of frontier life. The surviving record does not represent every part of society equally. Watching the recording alongside the related guide offers a way to consider both the people visible in the evidence and the questions that remain open.
