Description
The Antonine Wall is a fascinating and complex chapter in Scotland's history, marking the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire from AD 140 to 160. Constructed by the Roman army, the wall was a formidable barrier, featuring a turf rampart and a wide, deep ditch, with forts and civil settlements clustered around its gates. Despite its significance, relatively little is known about the man behind the wall, Antoninus Pius, whose reign lasted longer than any other emperor except Augustus. This meticulously researched book explores the enigmatic life of Antoninus Pius and the reasons behind the construction and abandonment of the Antonine Wall.
