What Divides Us Also Connects Us: Roman Frontiers, World Heritage and Community

Roman Frontiers (Limes) serve as a unifying cultural heritage, transcending national boundaries and fostering global connections. This study highlights the potential of transnational World Heritage recognition for Roman Frontiers to address contemporary challenges like climate change and pandemics by promoting community engagement and local pride. The research builds on existing collaborations within the International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies, aiming to create a networked series of World Heritage properties that reflect the Empire's development, expansion, and trade dynamics. By leveraging shared cultural heritage, these frontiers offer a framework for societal resilience in the 21st century.
