"Vallum Aelium" literally translates as "The Aelian Wall"; that is to say "The Wall of Aelius". 'Aelius' was part of the name of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who ordered the wall's construction to mark the official border of Rome in Britain in 122 CE. In English the wall is almost unanimously called "Hadrian's Wall".

How was the Roman wall guarded by the soldiers?

A good example of how the Romans guarded their walls is Hadrian's Wall (Latin: Vallum Aelium or Vallum Hadriani ) which was built in the Roman province of Britannia, beginning in 122 AD during the reign of the emperor Hadrian. There were milecastles with two turrets in between which probably hosted 1,000-1,500 soldiers. There was a fort about every five to ten Roman miles. From north to south, the wall comprised a ditch, wall, military road and vallum (another ditch with adjoining mounds). It is thought that the milecastles were staffed with static garrisons, whereas the forts had patrolling garrisons of infantry and cavalry.
