you would think an emperor that did all that in Rome could at least manage to have a son. Guess he was too busy building up Rome.

@asutn Invading is a lot cooler than hiding behind a wall.

So glad we have the BBC in this country to do proper documentaries

Dramatic music for everything....

@greeny202a You have never been to Scotland, have you?
-
@LordWellington15 A romantic notion but pure bullshit I'm afraid. Simple facts were Scotland was a shit hole and didn't have anything to justify the expense of conquering it, if they had plenty of Gold it would have been in the Empire don't worry about that.

This is ridiculously small compared to the great wall of China, which was built even earlier in time.
-
@PoppingSanta you're right..actually a month is little....but they would definitely conquered...
-
The border where were it where because the Romans did not want to go further. If they would have wanted to, sure, they probably would have conquered Scotland, but NOT in a month.
That's the kind of propaganda that you would have heard in Rome at that time, and only idiots believed it.

@LordWellington15 why dont you look up the battle of Mons Graupius
Tacitus' statement "Perdomita Britannia et statim missa" (Britain was completely conquered and immediately let go), denotes his bitter disapproval of Domitian's failure to unify the whole island under Roman rule after Agricola's successful campaign
lordwellington you say a lot of craps...adriano didn't conquer scotland becouse he decided that the border of the empire would have been the north of england..so it was useless to conquer a land beyond the borders of the empire....if the romans had wanted...they conquered scotland in a month....you study the history and drink less beer
