Abstract
The considerable expansion of Roman-controlled territory during the Republican period, though reflected in the increased number and strength of the legionary army, apparently proved an insufficient reason to demarcate or specifically delimit the borders, nor to erect frontier fortifications. The situation changed when Augustus established a standing professional army, whose legionaries and auxiliary troops had to be given their own garrisons. However, the way of erecting fortified military bases and other installations along the frontier as well as the defense strategies of particular provinces changed significantly over the following centuries.
