Limes Moesiae was a Roman-built system of fortifications consisting of three lines of defense, between the Black Sea shore and the Danube. Additionally, in Wallachia there were other two lines of defense: the Constantine Wall and the Limes Transalutanus. ==Characteristics== The Limes Moesiae, near the Danube delta, probably was built initially during Trajan times. Between the 2nd and the 3rd century was increased and abandoned. It seems it was used by non-Roman kingdoms after the 5th/6th century and partially rebuilt and increased〔(Romans in eastern Romania (in Romanian) )〕 It consists of three sections: * one in the south between Constanta and the Danube, usually called Trajan's Wall. * a second just north of the Danube delta, called even Lower Trajan's Wall in Moldova or Athanaric's Wall * a third in central Moldova from the Prut to the Dniester river, called Upper Trajan's Wall or Greuthungi Wall These three sections consist of earth ditchs, three meters high and two meters wide, and are very similar to the dykes between Roman Britain and Wales (like Wat's Dyke). Near the Limes Moesiae there are two other limes related to the defense of Moesia (and Roman Dacia): * The Constantine Wall, called even Brazda lui Novac de Nord, built in Walachia around 330 A.D. and long 300 km. * The Limes Transalutanus, probably done by Hadrian to defend Roman Dacia from the southern Carpathian mountains to the Danube. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Limes Moesiae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
