The Frontiers of the Roman Empire are a series of defence forts and walls marking the border of the Roman Empire although they were not used by the Romans for that purpose. These defence systems can be found in Germany and the UK, perhaps the most notable being Hadrian’s Wall in northern England. Despite many people believing Hadrian’s Wall forms England’s border with Scotland, it lies entirely within England and has never formed the Anglo-Scottish border.

Construction started under the command of Emperor Hadrian. The Roman Empire in Britain collapses. The wall is abandoned.
