Frontiers of the Roman Empire

The Frontiers of the Roman Empire refer to the boundaries that defined the extent of Roman territory during its height. These frontiers included natural barriers like rivers and mountains and fortified structures, such as walls and watchtowers. They served to protect the empire from invasions and to regulate trade and movement. Notable examples include Hadrian's Wall in Britain and the limes in Germany. Maintaining these frontiers was crucial for Roman stability, security, and control over provinces, shaping the cultural and political landscape of Europe for centuries.
