Visit the Wall Named After Me

The parents of the Roman emporer Hadrian, whose reign over the empire was from 117-138 AD, had enough foresight 1,900 years ago to name their son after me: Adrian aka allvoices user ahol888. The legacy of Hadrian can still be experienced today in Great Britain because he had a wall built during his reign which is called Hadrian's Wall. The wall goes all the way across northern England and is 84 miles or 134 kilometers long. When Hadrian was emporer, he realized that the Roman Empire was already too large for the Roman army. What he did in his 21 year reign was order for fortifications to be made all throughout the Empire in order to maintain authority and to keep intruders from reclaiming what the Empire had already conquered.
