Second Attempt

Some more Hadrian's photos. I'm still learning how to do this so it may be a bit slow and unprofessional to start with. The pictures give a small flavour of the beautiful countryside through which the Wall passes. It was built from 122AD on the orders of the Roman Emperor Hadrian to regulate the Northern frontier of the Roman Empire. Briefly abandoned during the later 2nd century when a more Northerly wall (the Antonine) was built on the orders of one of Hadrian's successors, Antoninus Pius, it was then re-occupied until the withdrawal of the legions from Britain sometime in the 5th century.
