The Limes - Fortification against the Barbarians | Full Documentary

Ойын-сауық

Almost 2,000 years ago, heavily fortified border posts stretched across all of Europe - the Limes. Palisades, walls and trenches, four-meter high walls and “castells” of the Limes on land stretched across Germania, the wild "Barbaricum." Along the Limes, military camps evolved into flourishing villages, protected by an impressive boundary and the Roman legions. So were The Limes only Rome’s "iron curtain", its bulwark against the barbarians?

    Still to this day people can't understand the difference of a wall to keep other from entering and a wall to keep inmates from escaping.

    I notice that the narrator's pronunciation "Edinburgh" was not well received, but no one commented on the pronunciation of "Limes". The pronunciation of "Limes" that I am familiar with is "Lee Mays" (in accordance with currently accepted Latin pronunciation), rather than what sounds like the slang term for British sailors, "limeys". This makes me wonder if the accepted British pronunciation of Limes is the one the narrator uses, which casts objections to anybody's pronunciation of anything into a whole new light. Something to consider: if these comments were spoken instead of written, would the commenters complain about "pronunciation" or about "pronounce-iation". I suspect the latter. I am ambivalent about pronunciation. On the one hand, language is democratic and in English there is no official authority. Other languages may attempt official authority, but unless they are willing to use violence, this is usually in vain. Since there is no ultimate authority, condemning another person's pronunciation seems petty. However, as a petty person myself, I find "alternate" pronunciations jarring, and I begin to question the credibility of the speaker. Since credibility is of great importance in a source of information, concerns about pronunciation are NOT actually petty. I have no solution to this problem.

    I know Hadrian's Wall had been breached sometime in the 180s and Housesteads Roman fort was put to the torch. There is a possibility the wall had been breached just between the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius. Pius was thus encouraged to move the frontier further north to a new wall of turf, the Antonine Wall. Then there is the possibility of Hadrian's Wall being breached in the very late fourth century not long before the Romans abandoned Britannia. But I'd like to know much more about the short-lived, Antonine Wall. It lasted only about twenty years and was evacuated and abandoned upon the death of Emperor Antoninus Pius. Documentation and archeological evidence are very scarce about the happenings on the Antonine Wall. Even modern historians aren't sure and don't agree. A number think the Antonine Wall came under increasing pressure of wall assault, cross-wall breaches and raids, especially in the second decade of its twenty-year existence. Certainly, the Caledonian and Pict tribes were not going to take it lightly of seeing a new Roman wall rapidly constructed directly across their tribal lands with the lands south of the new wall being annexed by Rome. Resistance was bound to occur. But this didn't seem to happen during the Antonine Wall construction. Perhaps the native Caledonians and Picts had been totally caught by surprise and there was no cohesive resistance to the large Roman presence of three legions and large numbers of auxiliaries building the new wall. Caledonian and Pict warriors stared silently behind the trees at the new Roman wall of turf blocks being rapidly constructed as fast as the legionaries and auxiliaries could function. There were simply too many Roman soldiers and workers to attack all at once. Once the new wall was up and the legionaries and auxiliaries dispersed among the sixteen to nineteen forts and fortlets in-between, or else redeployed south to England that the northern Scottish tribesmen could contemplate raids against the new wall. Leaders among them would rise to organize resistance to Roman rule and the Antonine Wall itself. Perhaps the Antonine Wall became a battleground and thus untenable in the long run. The writing on the wall was already long since seen even by Antoninus Pius. Some historians think Pius himself ordered the evacuation of the Antonine Wall just right before his death. Even if not, the new, co-emperors Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus decided to abandon the wall and give up the recent southern Scotland territory, returning to Hadrian's Wall, where it was repaired, refurbished, re-occupied and officially placed back into commission.
