A collaborative of adult LEGO builders with an interest in historical themes called Brick to the Past built a replica of Hadrian’s Wall, which they exhibited at the Great Western Brick Show. Smithsonian reports: “The attention to detail makes this Lego version of Hadrian’s Wall charming and fascinating. An Iron Age village sits on the “barbarian” Celtic side, along with standing stones, grazing cattle and villages. The Roman side is home to farmers, a temple, a bathhouse, milecastles and a town with a villa — a roughly accurate depiction of what life around the wall may have looked like.”
