The frontiers of the Roman empire together form the largest surviving monument of one of the worlds greatest states. They stretch for some 7,500 km through 20 countries which encircle the Mediterranean Sea. The remains of these frontiers have been studied by visitors and later by archaeologists for several centuries. Many of the inscriptions and sculpture, weapons, pottery and artefacts created and used by the soldiers and civilians who lived on the frontier can be seen in museums. Equally evocative of the lost might of Rome are the physical remains of the frontiers themselves. The aim of this series of booklets is not only to inform the interested visitor about the history of the frontiers but to act as a guidebook as well. The Roman Empire reached its near full extent during the reign of Emperor Augustus. At that time Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the entire Mediterranean were part of it. The Hungarian part of the Empire had a river frontier that was more precisely called ripa. Pannonia province existed from the occupation during the reign of Emperor Augustus to the 20s and 30s of the 5th century A.D. Its border stretched alongside the Danube and was always one of the most important European frontiers in Roman times, as it is justified by keeping a very strong defence force there, consisting of 4 legions and an average of 30 auxiliary units. Some 420 km long section of the entire Pannonian limes from Klosterneuburg (Austria) to Belgrade (Serbia) belongs to the territory of present-day Hungary. Autorid: Zsolt Visy, David J. Breeze
D-C-FIX dekoratiivkleebised on väga head vahendid mööbli uuendamiseks, isikupärasemaks muutmiseks ning privaatuse loomiseks. Kleebis sobib kasutamiseks kõikidele siledatele ning puhastele pindadele, näiteks kapid, tasapinnad, uksed, toolid, lauad, aknad, duššiuksed jne. Kleebiseid võib kasutada ka välitingimustes, talub temperatuuri -10 kuni +75 kraadi.Paigaldamises ei ole mitte midagi keerulist - esiteks tuleks mõõta välja täpselt õiges mõõdus kile või kleebise tükk, seejärel puhastada aluspind hoolikalt kõigist mustuse jääkidest nagu tolm, vesi jms. Vältimaks õhumulle on soovitavat aluspinnale piserdada vett, seejärel paigutada kile või kleebis soovitud positsioonile ning vesi kraabitsaga sujuvalt välja suruda, liikuda tuleks kraabitsaga keskelt äärtele. Kui kleebist on ekslikult viltu jäänud, on seda võimalik uuesti lahti tõmmata ja õigesse positsiooni sättida. Nurkade paigaldamiseks võib kasutada abivahendina ka fööni, mis muudab kleebise pehmemaks. Väikeste õhumullide eemaldamiseks võib mulli sisse teha pisikese augu, mille kaudu saab õhu välja suruda. Kui kile või kleebis on soovitud positsioonil kenasti paigas, on tarvis lasta tal seista 24 tundi, et liim saaks lõplikult kinnituda. Kui on soov kleebis eemaldada, on samuti föön hea abimees, nimelt saab fööniga kleebist soojendada, alustades äärtest, et liim tuleks lahti, ning järkjärgult kleebist maha tõmmata.Kleebis on mõõtmetega 0,9 x 2,1 meetrit.Järgnevatelt videotelt leiate erinevaid paigaldust õpetavaid videoid:
