High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The limitanei, meaning "the soldiers on the frontlines" (from the Latin phrase limes romanus, denoting the boundaries of the Roman Empire), were the frontier garrisons of the Late Roman army and subsequently the Byzantine Empire. They were light infantry similar to spear men and served as a policing force to patrol Rome's distant, far-flung border regions and when necessary, to delay advancing enemy forces until counter-attacks could be arranged. They are historically significant in that their appearance, as part of a plan of military reforms enacted in the late 3rd century, was able to extend the life of the Roman Empire[citation needed] by pushing back the the great barbarian invasions of late antiquity.Historians believe that the final set of military reforms in the Roman Empire prior to its fragmentation, were begun in the late third century by the Emperor Diocletian. In all respects however, the Limitanei owe their existence to thereforms of Constantine the Great, the first Christian Roman Emperor, who divided the Roman military into two types of soldiers in 300 AD.
