Walk along the 1800-year-old Hadrian's Wall that marks the northern boundary of the Roman Empire
ENGLAND
Today I walked this short section of Hadrian's wall, originally build in AD1200 and was up to 5 meters high and 3 meters wide.
Hadrian's Wall
Hadrian's Wall (Latin: Vallum Aelium, "Aelian Wall" – the Latin name is inferred from text on the Staffordshire Moorlands Patera) was a defensive fortification in Roman Britain. Begun in AD 122, during the rule of emperor Hadrian, it was the first of two fortifications built across Great Britain, the second being the Antonine Wall, lesser known of the two because its physical remains are less evident today. The wall was the most heavily fortified border in the Empire.
