From Wikipedia: The Antonine Wall, known to the Romans as Vallum Antonini, was a turf fortification on stone foundations, built by the Romans across what is now the Central Belt of Scotland, between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde. Representing the northernmost frontier barrier of the Roman Empire, it spanned approximately 39 miles. Construction began in AD 142 at the order of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius, and took about 12 years to complete.
