This essential question has been discussed over the last centuries through and through and the presented paper tries to offer a new perspective – this time by means of a landscape study and gaining an understanding of the positioning of individual forts on one of the short-lived Roman frontiers, the Antonine Wall. In the spotlight of this study is the spatial positioning of individual forts and fortlets on the above-mentioned frontier in terms of what could have been seen from them (visibility to the landscape and intervisibility with other Roman military installations) and how unique their locations were in terms of general accessibility (could they serve as natural blocking points?). A new approach is presented by using the Viewshed and Cost path analyses of the digital elevation model of the broader area around the Antonine Wall. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
