Hello, friends! I'm so excited for the first episode of Not Strictly History that takes us to a historic place - Hadrian's Wall! In this episode, which is a bit shorter than normal, I talk a bit about the history behind Hadrian's Wall, the construction of the Wall, some of the psychological/symbolic functions it must have served, and maybe even... a birthday party? Join me as I take a brief look at life on the frontier of the Roman Empire.
