Hadrian's Wall

Nice intro article about Hadrian's Wall:

...Brought into being by decree of the Emperor Hadrian, during his tour of Britain in 120AD, the main purpose of the wall was to prevent the northern areas of the Roman province of Britannia from being over-run by Pictish tribes from the north, and also spasmodic sea-borne attacks by Danish and Norse raiding parties, who went ‘a-viking’ when the spring brought better sea conditions for their longboats.

The Nina, The Pinta and The Religious Right:

Wren, over at Witchvox, has part one of an excellent article. Nothing is more incredible and fascinating than the truth. Looking forward to part two.
