Description:
This map of the Roman Antonine wall, which extends between the Clyde and Forth, was first produced by Sibbald in 1707 in his book 'Historical Inquiries'. It was later reissued as part of a collection of treatises in 1739. Sir Robert Sibbald (1641-1722) was not only a geographer and antiquary, but also professor of medicine in Edinburgh, physician to Charles II, founder of the Royal College of Physicians, and helped establish the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh. The Antonine wall attracted the attention of many mapmakers, including Timothy Pont (c.1564-c.1614) and Alexander Gordon (1692-1750). General William Roy (1726-1790), combining accurate survey with military understanding, printed a plan in his 'Military Antiquities of the Romans in North Britain' in 1793.
