The Dacian Limes is the generic modern term given to a collection of ramparts and linked series of Roman forts on the frontiers (see Limes (Roman Empire)) of the Roman province of Dacia dating from the early 2nd century AD. They ran for about 1,000 km and included the:
Limes Alutanus on the eastern side of the Olt river
Limes Porolissensis
Limes Transalutanus in Wallachia
so-called Trajan's Walls between Constanta and the Danube including:
Lower Trajan's Wall or Athanaric's Wall just north of the Danube delta in Moldova
Upper Trajan's Wall or Greuthungi Wall in central Moldova from the Prut to the Dniester rivers, although they may not have been Roman
Constantine Wall, or Brazda lui Novac de Nord in Walachia from around 330 AD and 300 km long.
Many of these "walls" consisted of earth ramparts, 3 m high and 2 m wide similar to the Antonine Wall.
