During Augustus’s reign, the Germans managed to hold the territory beyond the Danube and Rhine rivers. In what ways did these rivers serve as defensible frontiers for the Germans? 2. In what ways could Roman emperors use the Mediterranean Sea to help hold the empire together? 3. After Augustus, several emperors enlarged the empire.
