Virtual Heritage presents " Hadrians Wall. Black Carts Turret ", another Virtual 3D Tour over the most interesting places along the Hadrians Wall. Black Carts Turret (also known as Turret 29A) is a well preserved turret on the line of Hadrians Wall. It is located west from Roman " Cilurnum " fort in Chesters, and east from the " Brocolitia " fort in Carrawburgh. It was built by soldiers from the Twentieth Victorious Valerian Legion (legio XX Valeria Victrix) in 123 AD.

" Hadrians Wall. Black Carts Turret " app is powered by Unreal Engine technology and is an awesome new way to experience Hadrians Wall, one of the wonders of the ancient world. By using Epic Games award-winning, most advanced game engine, viewers can freely visit this 3D reconstructed monument in their own pace in engaging and educating way.

Hadrians Wall is the most important monument built by Roman army in Britain and was the most heavily fortified border in the Roman Empire. Roman emperor Hadrian came to Britain in 122 AD and ordered the construction of the most ambitious fortifications ever built by Romans - a 120 kilometers long defensive wall across the entire country with front ditch, Military Way and imposing earthwork called the Vallum. For almost 300 years, Hadrians Wall was the Roman Empire most imposing frontier.

All three Roman legions in Britain participated in the work: legio II Augusta (from Caerleon) legio VI Victrix (from York) and legio XX Valeria Victrix (from Chester) together with sailors from the fleet - classis Britannica.

Every roman mile the legions built a small fortlet called a "milecastle". Between each milecastle stood two smaller watch towers or turrets used for observation and signalling. The milecastles and turrets had three different designs, depending on which Roman legion built them, and were about 500 meters apart.

" Hadrians Wall. Black Carts Turret " app is a real-time virtual tour over 3D reconstruction of the turret and adjoining stretches of the Wall as it may looked like in 165 AD. If you want to feel like one of the roman soldiers from ala Augusta ob virtutem appellata quingenaria ( auxiliary cavalry unit ) patrolling the Wall, this app is for You.
