Yes, the Danube River originates in the Black Forest region of Germany, specifically from the confluence of the Brigach and Breg rivers. While it flows through several countries, including Austria, where it runs through the foothills of the Alps, its source is not in the Alps themselves. The river then travels southeast for about 2,860 kilometers before emptying into the Black Sea.

What two rivers formed the furthermost boundary of the Roman Empire in Europe during the reign of Augustus?

The Rhine and Danube rivers made up the North and North Eastern boundaries of the empire respectivly. These rivers may have been natural boundaries in a sense but beyond them there lived swarms of Germanic tribes. Augustus believed that a better boundary would be the Elbe river which was closer to the barbarians and so made a successful conquest of the area.To govern the newly conquered territory he chose a man named Quintus Varus who turned out to be involved in one of the greatest defeats of Augustus' career.What happened was that the Germanic Tribes rose in rebellion against the Roman government and a fierce battle ensued in which the Romans suffered a miserable defeat.Varus later killed himself as he believed it would be better to die than survive such a horrible humiliation.Augustus ,upon hearing of this great disaster, is said to have yelled "Varus, Varus give me back my legions." After this horrible defeat,Augustus now firmly believed that the Northern boundaries should stop at the Rhine and Danube.
