Hadrian (r. A.D. 117-138) was a Roman emperor known for his many building projects, cities named Hadrianopolis (Adrianopolis) after him, and the famous wall across Britain, from Tyne to Solway, designed to keep the barbarians out of Roman Britain (see map of Roman Britain).
The Hadrian's Wall in northern England, built to separate the Romans from the barbarians, extended 117 kilometres from Wallsend-on-Tyne in the east to Bowness-on-Solway in the west. All the walls were built for the purpose of military defence, and the Great Wall of China was no exception. Yet the Great Wall is unique. It was first built in the 7th century B.C. when China was still divided into many small states.
