where was the last roman frontier?

Question

historians said the roman empire stops near the border beatween england and scotland Icome from scotland and the romans went beond the borders mabay as far a the tay old kilpatrick was amager strong hold [GLASGOW] drumchaple/faifly /AND THE BLUEBELL WOODS

Answer 1

Wasn't it the Antonine Wall between the Forth and the Clyde? Wasn't Old Kilpatrick at the very western end? I'd guess the Romans went out north of that, too. But they didn't conquer land for the sake of it. In their eyes, what was the economic gain to be made in subduing the Highlands? What mineral wealth, what agricultural possibilities?

Answer 2

The Roman excuse was that internal politics at home and a lack of natural resources was the reason to exclude North Britain from the Empire.
But that's all it was - an excuse.
The native peoples wanted nothing to do with their 'civilisation' as it came at the point of a sword.
After the Battle of Mons Graupius they fought a guerilla war and exasperated the all-conquering Romans.
If it had not been for the people - Picts - there would have been no Scotland.
Why not read a bit about them and how they helped create a country?
But don't be fooled by stories of them being savages.
They had a sophisticated society of language, art and music as well as the usual day-to-day stuff of farming.
Maybe visit the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh (Chambers Street) where the first level of the building has a huge amount of Pictish and Roman material.
And it's a free museum.

Answer 3

The Romans did settle farther up than Hadrian's wall. They built a lesser known wooden wall that has long since disappeared. With the Germanic tribes threatening them, Rome pulled out of Britain. Many people in England are believed to be descendants of the Roman soldiers.

Answer 4

They went as far as the Antonine Wall in Scotland, but they didn't stay there long. Before that, they had built Hadrian's Wall, which was a stone wall (the Antonine Wall was just an earthwork). Within a few years, they pulled back to Hadrian's Wall.

Answer 5

The farthest Borders are recognized as Hadrians Wall In England (despite forays farther north, they didn't conquer, settle, etc)...The Rhine in the East (Vespasians legions in Tuetoburger Wald)...The 2nd Ctaract of the Nile to the south (couldn't ship below that due to falls).

Answer 6

The last city garrisoned by the Roman army was a city within the country known as Hungary today.

The last emperor was throned Constantine XI Palaeologus at 1449. He was later slained and the last remaining 60,000 of his country's population was sold to slavery.
