Summary

Romania's bid to inscribe its Dacian Limes and Danubian Roman Border segments as part of the UNESCO Frontiers of the Roman Empire (FRE) site underscores the significance of these archaeological landmarks. These frontiers, stretching across Transylvania, represent 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 in collaboration with institutions like the National Heritage Institute and the National History Museum, aims to document both visible and invisible traces of this frontier. This initiative not only highlights Romania's rich archaeological heritage but also emphasizes its role in preserving and communicating these historical narratives on a global scale.
