The construction of Hadrian's wall does not tell us anything about the Picts because at that time they
had not entered the historical record yet. Moreover, all we know about Hadrian commissioning its construction in 120 was that it followed a rebellion in northern Britannia (the Roman territory on the island.. We do not have any details of this rebellion, which could have occurred in southern Scotland and northern England and could have involved peoples both within and without the territories held by the Romans. The peoples in southern Scotland would not even have been the "predecessors" of the Picts, the Caledonians, who lived further north. Other things we know are that a) Hadrian pursued a policy of peace as strengthened the borders of the empire in Germania as well as in Britannia; b) the Picts were not particularity hostile to the Romans because they did not pursue any attempts to invade Scotland any more; c) Archaeology has shown that many civilians settlements developed along the wall as the Romans soldiers stationed along the wall attracted trade. There were more such settlements on the northern side of the wall; that is, the Scottish side.
The powerful people in Scotland at the time of the construction of Hadrian's wall were the Caledonians, from whom the Picts are thought to have descended. The Caledonians resisted Roman penetration into Scotland by Agricola in 79-84 and by Septimius Severus in 208-11. After that, Scotland was left alone. The earlier historical mention of the Pict was in 297 BC, a time when Scotland was not under threat by the Romans. The above shows that the frequent assumption that the wall was built to protect the Romans from attacks by the Picts and the Scots is wrong. Thus, the wall acted more as a border marker and a means to control and regulate trade across the border than as a means of defence against Scottish raids.
There were raids into Roman Britannia by the Picts in the late 5th century, when the Romans withdrew their Troops form Britannia to fight wars in the continent and when Britannia also suffered raids by the Angles, Saxons and Frisians. However, this was three hundred years after the construction of Hadrian's wall and in a different historical period.

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.
