Under supervision of dr. S.L.M. (Saskia) Stevens (Utrecht University) this project investigates how borders work and how they can become visible as cultural and political constructs. It looks particularly at the limes, the border of the Roman Empire in the Netherlands, how it was constructed and what its societal impact has been from the Roman period until today. The role of DANS lies in making the data accessible.
