History The establishment of the Roman Hadrian's Wall was first invaded the UK in 55 sm under julius caesar. But after more than a century, precisely in 70 m, Roman could only seize the English south. Roman could not seize the northern English because it is always defeated by two celtic barbarian tribes.
Hundreds of years could not win over barbarian tribes in northern English, make new roman emperor: caesar Hadrian ordered the construction of a large defensive wall that will consolidate the Roman defense wall in the area of English as well as a symbol of the separation between the Roman territory with 'barbaric'
Many people mistakenly think that wall and that are so long and was built by the magnificent Roman slaves. This is wrong. Quite interestingly, this wall built by Roman soldiers. According to the emperor, it was a sort of occupational therapy for legion (forces) roman to stay healthy and strong to continue working.
