A ''limes'', pronounced ''lee-mez'', from which we get modern English ''limits'', were barrier walls delineating the limits of the Roman Empire. On the outside of the ''limes'' were the [[barbarian]] hordes who wanted access to the more affluent civilization to either plunder it's wealth or learn their technology, but refused to submit to Roman law.
