An introduction to Hadrian's Wall which emphasises the astonishing scale of the undertaking and how powerful a statement it must have made. A short introduction to the emperor Hadrian and his policy of consolidating borders rather than extending them. A visit to a reconstructed section of wall g More…ives an important sense of scale as the presenter stands dwarfed beside it. A computer-generated sequence impressively conjures up the impact it will have had as it travelled through the landscape. Taken from Timewatch: Hadrian's Wall first broadcast in 2007.
