5. Limes (Teufelsmauer)
Limes refers to the border walls or military border security systems built by the Roman Empire from the 1st to the 6th century AD in Europe, the Near East and North Africa. It is also used for later comparable border demarcations (Limes Saxoniae) or surveillance installations at imperial borders. The term is originally derived from the Latin words limus "cross" and limen "doorstep". Initially, the Romans understood this term to mean only a field or a field that was delimited by boundary stones (termini), wooden posts or clearly recognizable landmarks. From the time of Gaius Julius Caesar, military roads with fortified guard posts and marching camps on a forest aisle or quickly laid roads in enemy territory were called Limes. Over time, it developed from a marching and patrol line to an approach obstacle with control functions.
