Hadrian's Wall
哈德里安(Hadrian)城墙


Roman Emperor Hadrian (ad 117–138) ordered the construction of a wall in northern Britain, then part of the Roman Empire, to keep out the unconquered Caledonians of Scotland. Built out of stone and turf between ad 121 and 126 and measuring about 119 km (74 mi) in length, the wall linked a series of forts and watchtowers. The forts were located every 1.6 km (1 mi) along the wall and the watchtowers every 0.5 km (0.3 mi). The Romans rebuilt Hadrian’s Wall several times throughout the 200s and 300s and used it as a fortification until about 400.
