Question

What defensive measure did the romans use to protect rome in the period of decline after the five good emperors?

Answer 1

Answer:

They built a wall around the city to keep out invaders

Explanation:

During the reign of Aurelian and Probus, the Aurelian Walls were built around Rome. They built this wall because the Germanic tribes were becoming a threat to Rome so the wall was a way to protect the city. The Wall had 19 km long and 6 to 8 meters high.

In the end, the Aurelian Wall was a good idea because it took about 100 years so the barbarians reached Rome, that invaded the city in 410 marking the end of the Roman Empire.
