User:Roman Emperors Route/Sample page

The Roman Emperors and Danube Wine Route, with its Danube and Adriatic Trails, extends through ten European countries. These are Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Route was certified as a European Cultural Route by the European Institute for Cultural Routes (EICR).

The Roman Emperors Route and Danube Wine Route tells the story of the expansion and defense of the Roman Empire on its northern Danube frontier. The frontier hinterlands, stretching to the Adriatic Sea, are also part of this story. It is a network of sub-destinations, created around individual archaeological sites which are monuments to the leadership of the Roman emperors in Late Antiquity. These are not necessarily the most important monuments according to the criteria of archaeology, but they have archaeological content that provides an understanding of the Roman context to the average tourist regarding how the users of these facilities lived, worked and entertained.

Four different categories of association with Roman imperial rule have been identified for the Roman Emperors Route and Danube Wine Route. The category which gives the Route its title has sites which are directly associated with the emperors’ presence, in residence or moving with the army to confront threats to the imperial peace (pax romana). The second group are all military in nature and show the execution of the emperors’ policy in pacifying and defending the imperial frontier. The last two categories reveal the mechanisms which protected imperial territory from invasion, insured accelerated production of the silver and lead ores from the mining districts and encouraged the formation of conquered tribes into manageable administrative units. The included wine regions in a general sense duplicate the vineyards introduced by the Roman army into the regions. For the indigenous peoples, who lived and worked alongside of the Roman soldiers, one can infer that a way “to act Roman” and in a certain sense “to be Roman” was to acquire a taste for this new beverage from the Mediterranean world.
