About Segedunum Roman Fort, Wallsend
Segedunum was built around 122 CE as a Roman auxiliary fort marking the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall on the River Tyne. It housed several hundred soldiers drawn from auxiliary units recruited across the Roman Empire. The fort guarded the wall's terminus and a key river crossing, forming part of Roman Britain's frontier defenses for nearly three centuries.
