Lol I guessed it, but only because I had already read the story about Grrm interacting with some dudes making a Game of Thrones video game. Allegedly he saw their 3D model of The Wall and said something like "WTF that's absurdly gigantic, it looks stupid!" and they responded "uh this is built exactly to the dimensions you listed in the book."

“It’s a thousand leagues from here to the wall”, but we’ll make the ride in three days. Westeros is something like the size of South America, but if not for the climate variation, it may as well be Great Britain.

Westeros is something like the size of South America, but if not for the climate variation, it may as well be Great Britain. Which is hardly surprising, because it was modelled on Great Britain right down to the wall to keep out the people in the Cold Bit Up North.

The Roman walls were probably more useful for regulating commerce and movement of people across the border, which is usually the real reason one builds border walls, after all. The bureaucrats want to stay on top of things so Caesar gets what's theirs.

I started reading a novel set in Roman Britain immediately after the wall failed big time stylee, and thought it was very interesting until I got to the point where the protagonist foot-fucks his brother's wife in a smithy.

The bureaucrats want to stay on top of things so Caesar gets what's theirs. "big wall" seems to have a pretty bad track record as a defense through history. although it is appealing logic: wall good, make bigger
