Antonine Wall - in Fiction

In Fiction

The Northern Wall is depicted in some of Rosemary Sutcliff's historical fiction novels; as a fully functioning outpost of Roman power in The Mark of the Horse Lord, and as an abandoned ruin in Frontier Wolf.

In Max Brooks's post-apocalyptic novel World War Z, the Antonine Wall marks the line at which the British establish their defense against the zombies and the beginning of their free zone.

In William V. Crockett's "World's Apart," Roman outposts north of the wall are eventually overrun by Caledonians during the reign of Antoninin.
