Germanic invasions in the late third century …
Years: 260 - 260
Germanic invasions in the late third century lead to the abandonment of the so-called "Upper Raetian Limes" in favor of a Roman defense line along the rivers Rhine, Iller and Danube (Donau-Iller-Rhine-Limes) with watch towers in sight contact and heavily fortified castra at important passes (e.g., Castrum Rauracense instead of the previously unwalled Augusta Raurica near to Basel) and in the hinterland of the frontier (e.g., Vindonissa in today's Switzerland).
