Frontiers of the Roman Empire – The Roman Limes in HungaryDescription
This book illustrates the historical and archaeological significance of the Roman Limes in Hungary 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 Hungarian part of the Empire had a river frontier that was more precisely called Ripa. Pannonia province existed from the occupation during the reign of Emperor Augustus to the 20s and 30s of the 5th century A.D. Its border stretched alongside the Danube and was always one of the most important European frontiers in Roman times, as it is justified by keeping a very strong defence force there, consisting of 4 legions and an average of 30 auxiliary units. Some 420 km long section of the entire Pannonian limes from Klosterneuburg (Austria) to Belgrade (Serbia) belongs to the territory of present-day Hungary.Category
