Tour Scotland Photograph Hadrian's Wall Steel Rigg

Tour Scotland photograph of Hadrian's Wall at Steel Rigg, Northumberland, England. Hadrian's Wall, Latin: Vallum Aelium, also called the Roman Wall, Picts' Wall, or Vallum Hadriani in Latin, was a defensive fortification in the Roman province of Britannia, begun in 122 AD in the reign of the emperor Hadrian. It ran from the banks of the River Tyne near the North Sea to the Solway Firth on the Irish Sea, and was the northern limit of the Roman Empire, immediately north of which were the lands of the northern Ancient Britons, including the Picts.
