Director General of the Ordnance Survey, UK · Public domain

Segedunum was a Roman fortress at Wallsend, North East England, positioned at the eastern terminus of Hadrian's Wall along the River Tyne[1]. Built around 122 AD during Emperor Hadrian's reign, the fort served as a military garrison for approximately 300 years until nearly 400 AD[1]. It represents the easternmost point of Hadrian's Wall and is now the most extensively excavated Roman fort along the wall system[1]. The site operates as Segedunum Roman Fort, Baths and Museum[1]. As part of the Hadrian's Wall UNESCO World Heritage Site, it provides crucial insights into Roman military infrastructure and daily life on Rome's northern frontier[1].
