The Antonine Wall lay at the very extremity of the Roman world. For
a generation, in the middle of the second century AD, it was the
north-west frontier of the Roman empire. Furthermore, it was one of
only three "artificial" frontiers along the European boundaries of
the empire: the other two are Hadrian's Wall and the German Limes.
Although the Antonine Wall fits into the general pattern of Roman
frontiers, in many ways it was the most developed frontier in
Europe, with certain distinct characteristics. Perhaps of greatest
significance is the survival of the collection of Roman military
sculpture, the Distance Slabs. These record the lengths constructed
by each legion and their relationship to the labour camps allow
further conclusions to be made about the work of constructing the
Antonine Wall.
