Limes Germanicus, Roman frontier fortification in southern Germany
The Limes Germanicus extends 550 kilometers from the Rhine to the Danube River, featuring a network of walls, watchtowers, and military fortifications.
Construction of this defensive system began after the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD, marking the northern boundary of the Roman Empire.
Archaeological discoveries along the fortification reveal military equipment, everyday objects, and architectural elements that document Roman life in Germania.
Visitors can explore reconstructed Roman forts, including the Saalburg near Frankfurt, which contains exhibits displaying artifacts from different periods.
The structure incorporated 900 watchtowers positioned within sight of each other, enabling rapid communication through signal systems across the entire frontier.
