Summary

Roman frontiers, spanning over 6,000 kilometers along rivers, mountain ranges, and artificial barriers, serve as dynamic zones of contact, exchange, and coercion that reflect the socio-political complexities of the Roman Empire. This volume, part of the proceedings from the 25th International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies (LIMES XXV), introduces innovative approaches to studying these frontiers, including feminist perspectives, digital methodologies, computational modeling, and archaeological heritage management. It also compares the Roman Limes with the Great Wall of China, offering a comprehensive exploration of frontier dynamics that bridges diverse scholarly interests. The congress, held in Nijmegen in 2022, brought together a global community of researchers to analyze these frontiers through interdisciplinary lenses, providing new insights into their role in shaping imperial spaces.
