Step onto the freezing northern frontier of the Roman Empire in the 1st century A.D. ❄️ Heavy snow blankets Hadrian's Wall as auxiliary patrols watch the wild wilderness for Pictish raiding parties eager to ravage the rich lands to the south. Shielded by a string of towns and forts, these diverse soldiers stood prepared to defend their stations and families from the ever-present threat beyond civilization. #RomanEmpire #HadriansWall #HistoryShorts #RomanBritain #AncientRome #MilitaryHistory #Picts #WinterFrontier
