History and sites along the UNESCO World Heritage Site. This richly illustrated volume provides comprehensive and reliable information on the military boundaries of Rome in Bavaria. The first part presents the history and function of the Limes, Roman border policy and the equipment and armament of the Limes troops. The core of the book is an up-to-date walking guide along the Raetian Limes between Wilburgstetten near Dinkelsbühl to Eining on the Danube with a description of all watchtowers and forts as well as references to museums and archaeological parks. Finally, another 40 military sites in Bavaria are presented, which are not located directly along the Roman border wall, but whose visit is highly recommended. Approx. 170 partly coloured illustrations, 8 walking maps and 1 general map. Approx. 232 pages.
