They were 2.5 to 3 meters above the ground.. At the back they were stabilized with wooden cross struts.. <9> <9> The watchtowers <9> They were mostly square in shape, 10 to 12 meters high, and were accessed via ladders to the first floor.. On the first floor was the living room, the lower floor, which was accessible via ladders inside, was storage room.. The guardhouse was the upper floor.. The guardsmen of 4 -5 soldiers came here for several days, from the castles.. <9> <9> The soldiers at the Limes <9> service were mainly auxiliaries, Auxilia, recruited from the poorer population in the provinces.. They were lured into preserving Roman civil rights for themselves and their descendants after 25 years of service.. <9> <9> Signal transmission <9> It was crucial that messages were transmitted quickly from tower to tower and to the castles.. One kind were torch signals, which implied that there was visual contact under the towers.. The remains of a wind instrument were found in a Hessian tower, which suggests that acoustic signals were also used.. <9> <9> Limes Crossings and Border Traffic <9> With the Limes there was no insurmountable barrier to the neighbors.. The border traffic took place on the pre-Roman times traffic routes.. At these border passages, people entering and leaving the country were inspected.. Customs and taxes could also be levied here. <9> <9> The territorial development on the Limes <9> Emperor Titus (79-81 AD) crossed the Danube with his troops and established the first castles.. In the following period, the border was moved further north and around 160 AD, the Upper German-Raetian Limes, an artificial boundary wall was built.. <9> <9> The end of the Limes <9> Drastic austerity measures in the 3rd century led to thinning at the border wall.. The Germans used this opportunity and raids and looting forced the Romans to retreat to a line south of the Danube.. <9> <9> My travel book ´The Limes, Part 1´ covers the part from the Rhine to the Main.
