Borders of the Roman Empire
Borders of the Roman Empire, Political border and UNESCO World Heritage Site in England and Germany.
The Roman Empire borders incorporated military roads, forts, natural barriers like rivers, and constructed fortifications to separate imperial territories from external lands.
During the second century AD, the Romans strengthened their frontier defenses with stone walls, embankments, and numerous fortified positions across multiple territories.
The border system influenced European development through the establishment of trade routes, military outposts, and interaction zones between Roman and non-Roman populations.
Visitors can explore archaeological sites, museums, and reconstructed fortifications along the preserved sections of the Roman frontier in multiple European countries.
The Saalburg Roman Fort near Frankfurt presents a complete reconstruction of a border garrison, featuring original foundations and recovered Roman artifacts.
