WHAT DOES ANTONINE WALL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Antonine Wall

Antonine Wall

The Antonine Wall is a stone and turf fortification 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 63 kilometres and was about 3 metres high and 5 metres wide. Security was bolstered by a deep ditch on the northern side. The barrier was the second of two "great walls" created by the Romans in Northern Britain. Its ruins are less evident than the better known Hadrian's Wall to the south. Construction began in 142 AD at the order of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius, and took about 12 years to complete. Pressure from the Caledonians may have led Antoninus to send the empire's troops further north. The wall was protected by 16 forts with small fortlets between them; troop movement was facilitated by a road linking all the sites known as the Military Way. The soldiers who built the wall commemorated the construction and their struggles with the Caledonians in decorative slabs, twenty of which still survive. The wall was abandoned after only 20 years, and the garrisons relocated back to Hadrian's Wall.
