Hadrian's Wall. Just a big wall in northern Britain. Built by the Romans, it used to separate their empire from the so-called 'barbarians'. It’s about 13 feet high and stretches for miles—yawn. There are some forts and milecastles along it, but really, it’s just a wall. Dr. Frances McIntosh talks about it, along with the usual stuff about who lived there and why it’s named after some emperor. Apparently, it inspired a few authors too, like George R.R. Martin or something. Anyway, if you’re into walls, this might be interesting. Or not.

Hadrian's Wall
It's the most famous Roman frontier in the world. A massive c.13-foot high wall that spanned the length of northern Britain, dividing the empire between Roman and 'barbarian' land. But how was it built? Who lived along it? And why was it named after
