	Upper Germanic Limes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Upper Germanic Limes, also called Rhaetian Limes or simply "the Limes", was the border between the Roman Empire and the unsubdued Germanic peoples.
		The Limes extended from Koblenz on the Rhine to Eining (close to Kelheim) on the Danube.
		The first emperor, who began to build fortifications along the border, was Augustus, shortly after the devastating Roman defeat in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D. Originally there were numerous Limes walls, which were then connected to form the Upper Germanic Limes along the Rhine and the Rhaetian Limes along the Danube.

	Limes - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		A limes (or the Limes Romanus) is a border defence system of the Ancient Rome.
		The Latin noun limes denoted generally a path, sometimes a boundary path (possibly its original sense) or boundary, and hence it was utilized by Latin writers occasionally to denote frontiers definitely delimited and marked in some distinct fashion.
		Thus the Wall of Hadrian in north England is sometimes styled the Limes Britannicus, the frontier of the Roman province of Arabia facing the desert is called the Limes Arabicus and so forth.

		The 'Tropfbruch' quarry is probably the best outcrop for interpreting the distributional patterns of biotic successions and communities of a late Triassic patch reef.
