Trajan then went on to conquer Armenia, but this was even less successful, and one of the first things his successor, Hadrian did was to withdraw from Armenia and negotiate a peace with the Parthians.
Under Domitian, Agricola had marched right up into Scotland where he established a legionary fortress at Inchtuthil. The withdrawal was in two phases, with Newstead being the boundary.
It was left to his successor, Hadrian to tidy it all up and build a wall to separate off civilized Rome from the barbarians.
