Hadrian's Wall (8x22)

: 23, 2001

74-miles long and 2,000 years old, Hadrian's Wall winds over the hills and valleys of Northern England, marking the northernmost extent of a long-dead empire. Ordered built by the Emperor Hadrian around the time of his visit in 122 AD, this archaeological treasure teaches us much of what the Roman era was like for Britain.
