/ði ˌæntənaɪn ˈwɔːl/
/ði ˌæntənaɪn ˈwɔːl/
- a wall built in 142 AD across southern Scotland during the reign of the Roman emperor (= ruler) Antoninus Pius. It was about 37 miles/59 kilometres long and was intended to replace Hadrian's Wall further south as the northern frontier (= limit) of the Roman Empire, but it had to be abandoned by 197 AD. Little of the wall now remains.
安东尼墙（Antonine Wall）：罗马皇帝（Antoninus Pius）统治时期，建于公元142年，横跨苏格兰南部的墙。它长约37英里/ 59公里，意在取代更南的哈德良长城，成为罗马帝国的北部边界（界限），但它必须在公元197年废弃。现在几乎没有墙了。
