		The Limes Germanicus (Latin for Germanic frontier) was a remarkable line of frontier (limes) forts that bounded the ancient Roman provinces of Germania Superior and Raetia, and divided the Roman Empire and the unsubdued Germanic tribes, from the years 83 to 260.
		At its height, the limes stretched from near Bonn on the Rhine to near Regensburg on the Danube.

		Throughout the long history of Rome, the Rhine was considered the border between Gaul or the Celts and the Germans, even though the border often was violated, as when the Germanics crossed it and joined with the Celts to form the Belgae (descending to Belgium).
		For a time the Rhine ceased to be a border when a union of all the west Germanics, the Franks, crossed the river and occupied Roman-dominated Celtic Gaul as far as Paris.

		The stem of limes: limit-, which can be seen in the genitive case, limitis, marks it as the ancestor of an entire group of important words in many languages; for example, English limit and eliminate, "remove over the border." Modern languages have multiplied its abstract formulations.
		The limes was a cross-path or a cross-wall, which the Romans meant to throw across the path of invaders to hinder them.
		In Pokorny Latin limen, "threshold", is related to limes, being the stone over which one enters or leaves the house, and some have gone so far as to view the frontier as a threshold The Merriam-Webster dictionaries take this view, as does J.

		The Romans viewed the Rhine as the outermost border of civilization and reason, beyond which were mythical creatures and the wild Germanic tribesmen, not far themselves from being beasts of the wilderness they inhabited.
		Throughout the long history of Rome, the Rhine was considered the border between Gaul or the Celts and the Germanic peoples, even though the border often was violated, as when the Germanics crossed it and joined with the Celts to form the Belgae (descending to Belgium).

	Gallia - Province of the Roman Empire
		An invasion by Germanic Cimbri and Teutones was defeated by Gaius Marius in 102, but 50 years later a new wave of invasions into Gaul, by the Helvetii from Switzerland and the Suevi from Germany, triggered Roman conquest of the rest of Gaul by Julius Caesar in 58-50 BCE.
		The next two centuries were marked by occasional revolts, by increasingly frequent invasions of Germanic tribes, against whom a line of limes, or fortifications, was erected from the middle Rhine to the upper Danube, and by the introduction of Christianity early in the 2nd century.
		During the reign of the emperor Marcus Aurelius (161-180), Germanic invaders crossed the limes.

		The Roman Empire's western collapse was triggered by numerous causes of which one was the sudden change in direction of expansion of the various Germanic tribes.

		During this explosive expansion of the Germans there was another, similar succession of advances by the Arab nations.
