Hadrian's Wall was built by the Romans to defend Roman Britain from northern tribes in present-day which region?

• A. Egypt
• B. Gaul
• C. Present-day Scotland
• D. Iberian Peninsula

Answer: (C)

Hadrian's Wall shows how Rome managed the boundaries of its provinces by creating a solid defensive line at the edge of Roman-controlled Britain. It was built to stop northern tribes from pressing into Roman territory, placing the threat from beyond the wall in the area now known as present-day Scotland. The other regions listed are far away from this frontier and do not describe the area Rome was defending against. So the region in question is present-day Scotland.
