Summary

Romania's bid to inscribe the Dacian Limes and segments of the Danubian Roman Border as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Frontiers of the Roman Empire' highlights its significance as a dynamic contact zone between the Greco-Roman world and local civilizations north of the Danube. The Romanian National Limes Program, coordinated by the National Limes Commission, involves multiple institutions including the National Heritage Institute, National History Museum, and regional museums, to prepare the nomination. This initiative aims to document both visible and invisible traces of the Roman frontier, emphasizing its role as a cultural bridge rather than a strict border. The program also ensures seamless communication between national and international partners, underscoring Romania's commitment to preserving and promoting this globally significant archaeological heritage.
