The archaeology of Roman frontiers studies the physical remains and structures, such as forts, walls, and roads, left by the Roman Empire along its borders. It helps us understand how Romans defended and managed their frontiers, interacted with neighboring peoples, and maintained their empire's stability. By examining artifacts and site layouts, archaeologists uncover insights into military strategies, daily life of soldiers, and the frontier's impact on local communities. This field offers a tangible connection to the past, revealing how Rome extended its influence and secured its borders across Europe, Africa, and Asia during antiquity.
