Hadrian built the wall because he felt that the Empire was as big as it needed to be. He was the first Emporer to do this. The Christians did not kill the Romans. A Christian Empire survived in the East for centuries after the Western Empire fell. Rome's biggest problems were the Celts and the Jews who refused to bow to Roman rule. The other problem was the constent wave of barbarian incursions.
