For PaleoJudaica posts on Hadrian's Wall, some with photos, see here and links. For posts on Vindolanda, an ancient Roman fort in Northumbria near the wall, see that post and links, plus here and here. Vindolanda is best known for the vast archive of Latin documentary tablets found there, sometimes known as the Dead Sea Scrolls of Britain.
In ancient Jewish tradition the Emperor Hadrian is mainly remembered for his role in the Bar Kokhba Revolt in 132-135 CE. Some posts on him are collected here. If you want an educated guess at what he looked like, see here. One of his outrages was the rebuilding of Jerusalem as a pagan city named after him: Aelia Capitolina.
I will keep an eye on the Wall commemorations in 2022 and will keep you posted on any interesting developments.
