#7 - Outpost on the Danube
Under Trajan, the Romans invaded and eventually annexed Dacia to the east of the Danube River. After the virtual annihilation of two legions, it was not possible to hold this area; and the Romans soon retreated behind the natural defensive barrier of the Danube. A series of fortifications were built which were mutually supportable and manned by auxiliary troops with legions stationed strategically behind the frontier to react to any incursions by enemy tribesmen. In some areas, a ditch and vallum was constructed, but this was not a continuous defensive line.
