The Picts must have been impressed when they saw that. The Auxillaries on the wall did their job pretty well for a long time. It's sad considering the stone from the real wall was torn down by the Victorians to build roads.

The Jacobite Rebellion was the first cause of major vandalism , for the very reason you speak of. If our recent ancestors had been more thoughtful who knows what sort of monument we would still have.
