Why did the English build a wall to keep scots out?

>>65697191
The Romans built that wall in an era when the "scottish" barbarians up north were spearing babies for pleasure and couldn't lay too stones on top of each other

How is Hadrian like Hitler?

"Uhh, Sir Roxford. Don't you think we should make this wall higher? The Scots could easily climb over this"

Sir Rocksford: Nonsense, this wall is obviously Inpenetrable! No chance the Vikings will get us now!!

the ground was a lot lower too by a few feet so the wall wasn't just waist high

they were shorter back then

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

other than building large scale projects (hardian's wall, rebuilding the parthenon, temple of venus and roma), not very similar
he was a very multicultural emperor, even seeking to make greece (not rome) the cultural capital of the empire and also travelled to every province of the empire
he was also militarily smart, spending many days with actual roman infantry, using false reports of attacks to keep them on their toes and planning military strategy
he was opposite of hitler in many ways, but mostly in the way he wasn't an agitator/warmonger, and withdrew forces from eastern wars when he advanced to the throne

even if it was that height it'd make it a lot harder for raiding parties on horseback or larger armies with supplies etc. it's not made to stop single people

There were astronomical observatories built in Scotland 2000 years before mud hits were even built on the seven hills of Rome. I like when people confidently say dumbshit like this when they have no clue what they are talking about

Built 2000~ years before huts were even built in Rome, the ancient people of Scotland were building stone monuments as observatories to track the movements of the sun

history must be an entertaining subject in america
