It was a war of prestige. The new emperor Claudius needed security due to his opposition from the Senate.

It was meant to serve as a barrier and a marking of the Roman Empire. After Hadrian (a warrior) died, his successor abandoned the wall and created a new one further North called the Antonine Wall (made between the Forth and Clyde Rivers in Scotland). About twenty-two years later, the Antonine Wall was abandoned and Hadrian's Wall was once again the northern boundary of the Roman Empire.]]> 2019-10-24 13:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/blcatscott/romansinbritains/wish/401984265 blcatscott https://padlet.com/blcatscott/romansinbritains/wish/401985818 Wales took decades to subjugate.

Local gods were merged with Roman gods instead (AKA syncretism). No one really knows exactly when Christianity was introduced to Britain, but it became more popular in the 4th century, after the conversion of emperor Constantine, in 312 AD. Villas and temples were then decorated with christian icons and figures. ]]> 2019-10-24 13:09:07 UTC https://padlet.com/blcatscott/romansinbritains/wish/401986956 blanning9842 https://padlet.com/blcatscott/romansinbritains/wish/401988135 Many fell to the Romans rule and followed their laws.
