Who Roman Emperor built a massive wall across northern Britain in AD?
Hadrian built the wall across the width of the northern part of Britain - about 73 miles - with a series of military forts, mainly to keep out the warring tribes to the north (in what is now Scotland) and to mark the boundary of the Roman Empire. It was ordered to be built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, when he visited Britain in AD 122. Much of it still remains to this day, and it is a popular tourist attraction. It's called Hadrian's Wall.
How many people did it take to build Hadrian's wall?
The wall was built in about 122 AD, almost 1,900 years ago. It was built at the time of Emperor Hadrian, hence the name. It was built to protect the north of England, the furthest western part of the Roman empire] from attacks by the Scots [Picts].
Why was Hadrian's Wall put up?
Emperor Hadrian wanted to protect the empire. The wall was there to protect the north of England from raids by Scottish tribes. The Romans were unable to conquer the Scots, so they built a wall to keep them out. There was also another border wall, further north, built by Emperor Antonius, but it 'only' lasted for about 150 years. Hadrian's wall lasted for around 500 years, and many parts of it still exist today.
