Hadrian's Wall is a former Roman fortification in the Roman province of Britannia in what is now northern England.
Built during the reign of Emperor Hadrian in 122, the wall was intended to defend the province from the Britons in the north, which the Romans failed to conquered. The walls were subsequently abandoned after the Roman departure from the island, leaving few to maintain and keep it intact.[1]
Shortly after Emperor Marcus Aurelius came to power, the Hidden Ones made motions towards him to broker peace in the region. In 164, Aurelius agreed to cease hostilities and retreat south from the Antonine Wall to the more easily defensible Hadrian's Wall. Although the Hidden Ones trusted Aurelius to abide by the deal, they sent Magister Eghan to oversee the retreat in order to verify that Aurelius kept his word.[2]
Numerous fortifications on the walls such as the Magnis Fortress remained intact and became a Pictish stronghold by the 9th century.[3]
During the 870s, the ruined walls and its abandoned landmarks such as Housesteads and the Brunton Turret was visited and explored by the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir.[3]
