| The remains of the limites today consist of vestiges of walls, ditches, forts, fortresses and civilian settlements. |
| As the emperor had ordered the army to stay within the limites except for punitive expeditions, they were as much a mental barrier as material. |
| These troubles may have influenced Hadrian's plan to construct the wall as well as his construction of limites in other areas of the Empire, but to what extent is unknown. |
| The Romans never built limites where they considered themselves free to attack. |
