The boundaries of the Roman Empire changed significantly during its expansion. At its height the empire extended from the south up to the river Rhine in southern Holland and south-eastern Germany and an area of southern-central Germany east of this river in Western Europe; the Danube River and the Transylvania area north of this river in south-eastern Europe; Turkey, Cyprus, northern Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan in Asia; Egypt and the coastal part of the rest of North Africa.

The Romans conquered England and Wales and pushed into southern Scotland twice. However, on both occasions they withdrew back into England. Hadrian's Wall was the boundary of the empire here.

Later it became difficult to defend the empire and the Roman fortifications in southern-central Germany were abandoned and the Transylvania area (Dacia) was given up.
