To preserve the Roman state it was necessary to keep barbarians outside the Empire and to expel them if they did break in. The ideal solution was a defensive system that could defeat all attacks on (or beyond) the borders of the Empire. This resulted in the stationing of large armies on the Rhine and Danube frontiers in the early imperial period.
