Antonine wall

I recently visited this famous wall and the site of one of the larger fortresses.
I have to say the Romans knew how to make something look good. As we walked along the antonine wall we came upon a huge causeway once trod by legions of roman soldiers, its banks were smooth and curved outwards towards the sky at the bottom of this causeway was a large hill on top of which, once stood a large Roman fortress.

LIKE MORE ON THIS THEN LET ME KNOW I HAVE LOTS

Whilst the area was now baron of buildings, it is guarded by a presence of power and opulence. At its gates and perimeter we found large hidden pits where once was hidden great spears which spelt death to any would be assailant, In to these Pits the enemies of Rome were thrown onto the spears as a lesson to others. What has this to do with the picts you ask I will let you know in the next episode?
