Summary
Romania's bid to list the Frontiers of the Roman Empire (Limes) as a UNESCO World Heritage Site underscores the critical intersection of archaeological research, heritage protection, and sustainable tourism. The study clarifies diverse interpretations of 'limes' while emphasizing the distinct responsibilities of stakeholders—archaeologists, policymakers, and tourism industries—in both the nomination process and post-inscription stewardship. It highlights the urgent need for coordinated efforts to preserve these ancient frontiers, balancing scientific inquiry with cultural and economic imperatives. The research serves as a timely call to action, addressing challenges such as funding, legal frameworks, and public engagement essential for safeguarding this global heritage.
