Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The limes was a formidable fortification effort along most of the Roman empire's borders, rivaled i size only by the Great China Wall. By its staggering demonstration of means and engineering efficiency it was crucial to the emperor's prestige as much as for militarily guarding the Roman borders, which only pays off as long as the -mainly Germanic- neighbors aren't too numerous and/or romanized and pacified trough trade. It comprised standardized components, such as watchtowers, castles for cavalry garrisons and signals systems, plus river boat patrols. Written by KGF Vissers |
