The Hadrianic Society is a British historical society focused upon Hadrian's Wall and Roman Britainas well as Antonine Wall, the Gask Ridge, and other Roman Frontier systems.[1][2] It was founded in 1971[3] under the leadership of Brian Dobson,[4] David Breeze, and Valerie Maxfield.[1]

History
The purpose of the society is to promote the study of Hadrian's Wall, the Roman Army, and Roman frontiers.[5] The Hadrianic Society developed out of a series of courses held for former students and amateurs originally involved with the excavations at the Roman site of Corbridge under the guidance of Brian Dobson.[6] Peter Connolly was involved with the Society throughout the 1980s[7] and the annual 'Roman Army School' conference held by the Society is cited as directly influencing the work of Lawrence Keppie[8] and Birgitta Hoffmann.[9]
The society was covered in Current Archaeology in 2010.[10]
