Frontiers of the Roman Empire - The Lower German LimesDescription
This book illustrates the historical and archaeological significance of the Lower Germanic Limes and provides an up-to-date overview of its many features in the field. The aim of this book is to inform the interested visitor about the history of the frontiers and to act as a guidebook as well. The frontier in Lower Germany was one of the earliest to be created; surviving into the early 5th century, it illustrates the whole range of Roman military installations. In the Rhine delta, the watery nature of the landscape has ensured incredible survivals in the form of organic remains including ships. Upstream are great military bases created for the army poised to invade Germany, supported by forts and fortlets, all modified over time.Category
