Summary

Roman military communities along the Lower German Limes exhibited remarkable cultural diversity, with inhabitants originating from across the Roman Empire and beyond. This study highlights four case studies that illustrate the high level of ethno-cultural variation within these frontier villages and forts. By analyzing archaeological evidence, the research reveals a dynamic mixing of cultures, challenging traditional narratives about Roman military society on the empire's northwestern border.
