  Abstract:  The evolution of the Roman frontier of Upper Germany in time was a complex one. The frontier movements resulted in successive shifting of the lines towards East and were caused by more than one factor: the aim of shortening the frontier line, the enclosing of economically useful territories, the security concepts of different emperors etc. The physical frontier structures are now better dated especially as a result of dendro-chronological investigations. These structures of the limes were meant to control the traffic of people and goods and also to have a psychological effect both on the Roman and on the “barbarian” side of the frontier.
