Romans used the Latin word Limes to delineate property boundaries or a path between two fields. Gradually, the term became associated with frontiers under military supervision. Limes refers to all remains related to Roman military buildings: legionary camps, forts, watchtowers, bridgeheads and roads alongside the former frontier of the Roman Empire. Limes could be artificially created in form of defence walls, ramparts, ditches or incorporated into natural obstacles, such as river shores. The system practically became universal when Emperor Augustus decided to consolidate the borders (27 BC-14 AD), and later Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) wanted to define them as clearly as possible. Artificially made obstacles on the frontiers of the Roman Empire are the Hadrian’s Wall in England, Upper German-Raetian Limes in Germany and the Antonine Wall in Scotland, as well as the so-called African rampart in North Africa. On the other hand, the system of military installments alongside natural obstacles was created next to the River Rhine, the Danube, the Euphrates and the Tigris. What is Limes?

Latinskom su riječju limes Rimljani označavali granicu posjeda ili put između dvaju polja. Postupno su tim pojmom počeli obilježavati graničnu liniju pod vojnim nadzorom. Limes tad obuhvaća sve ostatke sustava rimskih vojnih građevina: legijskih logora, kastela, promatračnica, mostobrana i prometnice duž nekadašnje granice Rimskoga Carstva. Limes je mogao biti umjetno podignuta granica u obliku bedema, nasipa i jarka ili postavljen u zaleđu prirodnih prepreka kao što su obale rijeka. Taj je sustav postao općim načelom rimskoga shvaćanja nakon što je car August (27. g. pr. Kr.-14. g.) odlučio ustaliti, a car Hadrijan (117.-138.) čvrsto utvrditi granice. Umjetno su podignute granice Rimskoga Carstva Hadrijanov zid u Engleskoj, Gornjogermansko-retijski limes u Njemačkoj i Antoninov nasip u Škotskoj te tzv. Afrički jarak u sjevernoj Africi. Sustav rimskih vojnih instalacija uz prirodne prepreke bio je podignut uz obale rijeka Rajne, Dunava, Eufrata i Tigrisa. Što je limes?
