When Hadrian came to power in 117 A.D., he adopted a different position than his predecessors. Rather than looking to expand the empire, he opted to secure and maintain the borders where they currently were. At the far end of the empire in Britannia, the security of the border came in the form of a wall that would cut across the entire country. In this episode, we’ll be taking a look at some of the history and ruins attached to Hadrian’s Wall.
