This picture shows the fort near the Pons Aelius that has been discussed in an earlier topic but makes no sense at all with the fort detached from the wall near the north bank of the river Tyne.
If we are to believe that the wall from Newcastle to Wallsend was a later concept or idea of the Roman engineers just where did the wall terminate before that idea, was it still detached from the fort as shown with no protection at all.
