what time was it when the roman soljers lived in vindalnda?

Answer 1

The garrison were auxiliary infantry or cavalry units, not components of Roman legions. From the early 3rd century onwards, this was the 4th cohort of Gauls. It had been presumed that this title was by this time purely nominal, with auxiliary troops being recruited locally, but an inscription found in a recent season of excavations suggests that native Gauls were still to be found in the regiment and that they liked to distinguish themselves from British soldiersThe fort was originally constructed in turf and timber before Hadrian's Wall was built around 122, and was repaired and rebuilt several times. Later, apparently after a period of abandonment when the garrison transferred to a fort on the Wall itself (probably Housesteads Fort), a new stone fort was built approximately on the same site. This fort, and the civilian community abutting it – called a "vicus", remained in existence until the end of the Roman period in Britain in 410. Scattered finds suggest some type of settlement, possibly including an early church, well into the 5th century.
