When Hadrian became emperor in 117 A.D., he stopped expansion and built Hadrian’s Wall—relocating garrisons to new stone forts.

The Scottish occupation didn't last long, and by 160 A.D., Rome retreated back to Hadrian's Wall. #RomanEmpire #HadriansWall #AntonineWall #HistoryShorts #Vindolanda #RomanBritain #MilitaryHistory #AncientHistory
