In this live history documentary we join Roman soldiers as they take up their watch along the fortified border of the Rhine frontier. We begin with a brief introduction to the Roman Limes which was composed of a network of forts, walls, and outposts. These allowed the Roman army to effectively control hundreds of miles with just a few men. But the key to this system was information with which to properly react to events along the frontier. Thus a vast series of small forts and watchtowers was established. We follow the stories of Roman soldiers stationed across this frontier. This begins with soldiers manning a fort, performing watchtower duty, going on scouting missions, writing letters home, and taking time off.
