Which wall is the Roman frontier in northern England?

Hadrian's Wall served as the Roman frontier in northern England. It was built under Emperor Hadrian around AD 122 and stretched across the province of Britannia from the Solway Firth to the Tyne. It functioned as the main northern boundary of Roman control, with forts and milecastles to manage movement and defend against tribes to the north. The Antonine Wall was a later, more northern line in Scotland that wasn’t maintained as the primary frontier, while Offa's Dyke is a medieval border between England and Wales, and The Great Wall is in China.
