GEODEMOS L’Unione Europea ha un’alta densità demografica, ottime comunicazioni, alta urbanizzazione, vaste aree fortemente industrializzate e forti disuguaglianze economiche tra Stati. Queste condizioni dovrebbero favorire la mobilità interna, che invece è assai contenuta.

Limes and Computers

In order to protect their empire against hostile tribes, the Romans, from 40 to 240 AD, maintained a huge line of fortifications. It was the "limes" that also run through the Netherlands, from the North Sea to Nijmegen (Noviomagus). Along this line soldiers needed supplies. "Obviously the supplies had not to come from Rome, but mainly from the neighborhood", observed Mark Groenhuijzen from the Free University who investigated the limes and supplies and the network required to support them. In his investigations, Mark uses computer models to find the best solution in the framework of logistics parameters (M. Groenhuijzen, Palaeogeographic analysis of the Dutch part of the Roman limes and its hinterland (Leiden 2018)).

"From the 40s A.D. onwards a dense military system was established in the Lower Rhine delta in the Netherlands. Long since, it is questioned why this system was established in a wetland area and even turned into the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire, the Limes. A new detailed palaeogeographical map, based on a digital elevation model (LIDAR), soil maps and excavation results, was constructed.  .... "
