Following the model of the Romans in fencing off Scotland and Wales. They didn't just put up a picket fence either, it was substantial earthworks with vertical oaken logs. Went up quickly, eliminated most of the problem right away. Apparently the Roman patrol could hear barbarian growls from the other side of the barrier, but taking out a couple posts to breach the wall was more work than barbarians can do quietly, so all in all it did work.

Yup... called the pale wasn't it.. it's where we get the term "beyond the pale" as it pertains to way past barbaric behaviors....
