I will build a wall. Nobody builds walls better than me,” said Donald Trump during the 2016 election campaign. However, this quote could just as easily have come from the ancient Romans, as they also wanted to prevent “illegal migration” and secure their borders. So they built the Upper German-Raetian Limes in Germany, the second longest archaeological monument in the world at 550 km long. Only the Great Wall of China is longer.
