Emperor Antoninus Pius ordered his governor Lollius Urbicus to reconquer the territory between Hadrian's Wall and the Forth-Clyde isthmus. Coins were struck celebrating the victory "over the Britons." The Antonine Wall — a turf rampart 37 miles long from the Forth to the Clyde — was then constructed. This was Rome's most ambitious expansion in Britain since Agricola. The campaign probably involved significant fighting against the Votadini, Selgovae, and Damnonii tribes.
