Matthew Symonds’ Protecting the Roman Empire. Fortlets, Frontiers and the Quest for Post Conquest Security published in 2018 at Cambridge University Press is an extended and well documented monograph built around the subject of the Roman provincial security and the network of the so-called outpost - the fortlets (medium-sized military installations called, praesidia or milecastles) and the watchtowers (commonly known as turres). The studied area is represented by the western part of the Roman Empire, the limites located on the modern territory of Germany, Britain, Switzerland and France, within a timespan falling between the 1st – 4th centuries CE.
