Frontiers of the Roman Empire: The Danube Limes in Austria

The Danube Limes in Austria stands as one of the most extensive and well-preserved remnants of the Roman Empire's frontier system, stretching over 7,500 kilometers across 20 countries. This series of booklets not only educates visitors about the historical significance of these frontiers but also serves as a practical guide, highlighting Austria’s exceptional survival of military installations such as forts and towers, some reaching up to two stories high. These structures offer a tangible connection to Rome's lost might, with artifacts like inscriptions, sculptures, weapons, and pottery providing further insight into the lives of soldiers and civilians who inhabited these frontiers. The booklet aims to increase awareness and visitation of this remarkable heritage, blending historical narrative with archaeological detail.
