Cultural-historical Main Structure: Archaeology, characteristics and value lines (including Limes zones, Canal of Corbulo)

In Roman times (2000 to 1500 years ago), the Old Rhine formed the border (Limes) of the Roman Empire. On the south bank of the Old Rhine, the Romans built a road with forts. Archaeologists call this border the 'Limes Zone'. Remains of this have been found in many places during excavations. Another important linear object is the Corbulo Canal, a waterway dug by the Romans that connected the Old Rhine to the Helinium, the mouth of the Meuse. The most important features: Eastern border spreading of old dune and beach sands in the subsoil; lime zone; Northern extension line Hellevoeterzand; Canal of Corbulo;
