Hadrian’s Wall
This is Northumberland, where England meets Scotland. Forty kilometers south of the modern border is Hadrian’s Wall. It was built by the Roman Emperor, Hadrian, nearly two thousand years ago.
When the Romans left Britain in the fourth century, the wall was four and a half meters high and went right across Britain from the west coast to the east. All along this great wall were towers, castles and forts. At this fort a Roman hospital was found. Hadrian’s Wall is a good place for a long walk – if you are energetic.
Which of the following sentences are true?
1. Hadrian’s Wall is forty kilometers south of the modern border.
2. Hadrian’s Wall was built nearly 2, 000 years ago.
