The Limes
Boundary Wall of the Roman Empire
The limes – the northern borderline of the Roman Empire stretched from Britannia to the Black Sea.
In its golden age, the antique global empire comprised an area as large as the United States today. It stretched from Scotland to Sudan and from Spain to the Caucasus.
The Roman army, which counted more than 300,000 men, had to defend a frontier that was approx. 5,000 km long.
But only in the north of the Empire, at the boundary line to Britannia and Germania, the frontier was continuously fortified and extended. What did that mean? Were the powerful Romans actually afraid of their Barbarian neighbours?
What did this border really look like?
And how was this huge borderline actually formed?

Rights and Obligations
Three girls of different ages: Anna is 17, Paula 15 and Lena 13. Before the law, their respective ages have consequences – because children and adolescents have different rights and also obligations.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
