[edit] Comments on proposed merge
Anyone else agree with user RHaworth's suggestion to merge the Graham's Dyke article into this one ? I do. GeraldH 13:26, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes, it is part of the history of the Antonine Wall Vignaux 21:14, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "in some contexts"
"The Romans called the land north of the wall Caledonia, though in some contexts the term may mean the area north of Hadrian's Wall." The insertion of the generic-self-protective phrase "in some contexts" turns this thought into babble. Can someone clean it up? --Wetman 16:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- I would assume they mean the border of what the Romans concidered Caledonia had moved. Countries re-align their borders all the time. To say that the two borders were interchangable would be like a future historian saying "In some contexts, the term 'Louisiana' may mean the area west of the Mississippi River." The term remained the same, but the borders changed. - Kevingarcia 18:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
