Limes Germanicus

To consolidate the border the limes Germanicus defense line was constructed.

But after the rupture of the limes Germanicus in 260, the area was settled by the Alemanni.

In Roman times, a wall known as the Limes Germanicus was built in the area as a fortification.

In the 2nd century, the Romans built the border fortifications of the Limes Germanicus through Germany, which ran along the Trennfurt side of the Main.

In Roman times, the river Oude Rijn, which was much wider, formed the Roman Empire's northern border (Limes Germanicus).

The Wehrheim municipal area contains 13 km of the Limes Germanicus which was declared a World Heritage Site in 2005 by UNESCO.

During their stay in Germania Inferior, the Romans established a number of towns and smaller settlements in the Netherlands and reinforced the Limes Germanicus with military forts.

The Kapersburg is located three kilometres to the west of Ober-Rosbach and is one of the best preserved Roman forts of the Limes Germanicus in Germany.

Limes Germanicus, the Germanic and Raetian Limes (UNESCO World Heritage ID 430bis-002)

The Antonine Wall is the most northerly part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site, shared with England (Hadrian's Wall) and Germany (Limes Germanicus).

Also during his reign the governor of Upper Germany, probably Caius Popillius Carus Pedo, built new fortifications in the Agri Decumates, advancing the Limes Germanicus fifteen miles forward in his province and neighboring Raetia.
