Limes Transalutanus, Roman defensive border in Muntenia, Romania.

The fortification system extends over 235 kilometers with walls reaching 3 meters in height and 12 meters in width along the southern section.

Emperor Septimius Severus expanded the eastern frontier by 14 kilometers from the Limes Alutanus during the first half of the third century AD.

The fortification reveals Roman military engineering through its network of observation towers, forts, and roads connecting strategic defensive positions.

Archaeological investigations focus on spring season fieldwork to document the watch structures and mapping the remaining segments of Roman roads.

The frontier incorporates varying defensive strategies, from continuous fortified walls in the south to natural barriers in mountainous northern regions.
