The Hadrian's wall was built in order to avoid raids from different British tribes (mainly the Picts), to improve economic stability and provide peaceful conditions in the south and to mark a physical frontier of the empire.

It helped to reduce the pressure of the raids and increased the hold of the southern provinces that was in Roman control.

Was there an alternative to building Hadrian's Wall?

No there was not an alternative William Wallace would have thrown the roans clear out of England if it wasnt for hadrians wall. No there was not an alternative William Wallace would have thrown the roans clear out of England if it wasnt for hadrians wall. No there was not an alternative William Wallace would have thrown the roans clear out of England if it wasnt for hadrians wall. ______________________________________________________ The above answer is entirely misinformed and false, and the inquirer is advised to give no credibility to it. The Romans had withdrawn from Brittania in 410, and the Western Roman Empire had fallen in 476; centuries before Sir William Wallace. By that time, Hadrian's Wall was no longer of any military value, nor did it mark the political boundary between England and Scotland. To answer the question, it is necessary to look at the situation before the wall was built. Rome had lost many men over the years in constant fighting with the Picts and Scots because no irrefutable boundary was drawn. The wall marked a boundary that the Picts and Scots could not argue with. Unlike the Great Wall of China, Hadrian's Wall had gates allowing travel from one side to another, but it effectively ended the border squabbling and skirmishing. The only alternative to building Hadrian's Wall would have been to not build it, and let the border warfare continue. Without a wall, there was no boundary that all of the Caledonians would respect. To the East, the Roman Empire faced more unified "barbarians." to whom fighting was not a constant way of life, and walls were unnecessary there. Regarding William Wallace, some confusion may have been caused by the movie Braveheart. The war paint of the pagan Scots was no longer practiced in Christian Scotland, but it was a deliberately used in the movie to help the audience distinguish the Scottish Army from the English Army.

How did the empire access to waterways help it to control the empire?

The Roman Empire first expanded around the Mediterranean and took over all the lands on its shores. This sea remained the heart of the empire. The Romans called it mare nostrum (our sea). Italy was/is between the eastern and western basins of the Mediterranean. This strategic location made it easier for the Romans to gain control over the western part first, and then expand into the eastern part and to control both of these basins.

The spacing for control joints in retaining walls typically ranges from 10 to 20 feet, depending on the wall's height and material.
