The defense lines (or "limes") of the Sasanians were part of their military strategy and tactics. They were networks of fortifications, walls, and/or ditches built opposite the territory of the enemies.[1] These defense lines are known from tradition and archaeological evidence.[2]
The fortress systems of the Western, Arabian, and Central Asian fronts were of both defensive and offensive functions.[3]
