The frontiers of the Roman empire together form the largest
surviving monument of one of the world's greatest states. They
stretch for some 7,500 km through 20 countries which encircle the
Mediterranean Sea. The remains of these frontiers have been studied
by visitors and later by archaeologists for several centuries. Many
of the inscriptions and sculpture, weapons, pottery and artefacts
created and used by the soldiers and civilians who lived on the
frontier can be seen in museums. Equally evocative of the lost
might of Rome are the physical remains of the frontiers themselves.
The aim of this series of booklets is not only to inform the
interested visitor about the history of the frontiers but to act as
a guidebook as well. The Roman Empire reached its near full extent
during the reign of Emperor Augustus. At that time Europe, Africa,
the Middle East and the entire Mediterranean were part of it. The
Hungarian part of the Empire had a river frontier that was more
precisely called ripa. Pannonia province existed from the
occupation during the reign of Emperor Augustus to the 20s and 30s
of the 5th century A.D. Its border stretched alongside the Danube
and was always one of the most important European frontiers in
Roman times, as it is justified by keeping a very strong defence
force there, consisting of 4 legions and an average of 30 auxiliary
units. Some 420 km long section of the entire Pannonian limes from
Klosterneuburg (Austria) to Belgrade (Serbia) belongs to the
territory of present-day Hungary.
