Die römische Reichsgrenze - zwischen Mosel und Nordseeküste

Back to the survey literature

(German: Title means "The roman empire boundary - between Mosel and North Sea coast")

This book describes the limes buildings in lower Germania (Germania inferior).

First different points are mentioned shortly: name and character, natural area, excavations, different buildings, military troops and other.

Then the different sections of the limes and also the hinterland in Germania inferior are described:

bulletVinxtbach to Cologne
bulletCologne to Xanten
bulletalong the Lippe
bulletbetween the Lippe and Waal
bulletDutch river region
bulletDutch coastal region

At the end is described the late empire defense system in this region.

Since the book remains silent about what is today visible - with few exceptions - it is not suitable to look up the today visible buildings.

It is suitable however well to get a general idea of the defense system in the northwest of the empire.
