Limes (Roman Empire)
Frontier and border defences of the Roman Empire / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Limes (Latin; sg., pl.: limites) is a term used primarily for the Germanic border defence or delimiting system of Ancient Rome marking the borders of the Roman Empire.[1][2] The term has been extended in modern times to refer to the frontier defences in other parts of the empire, such as in the east and in Africa.
