How many years passed between the first Roman invasion under Claudius in AD 43 and the building of Hadrian's Wall from about AD 122?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 79 years
- Step 1: The invasion was in AD 43 and the wall was begun around AD 122. Step 2. Subtract: 122 - 43 = 79. Answer: 79 years. Why not the others: 69 and 89 slip by ten, and 122 is the date itself.
