The border defense forces deployed by the Roman Emperor Constantine I (the Great) and his successors consisted of cavalry and infantry, and also worked as garrison soldiers. Although these forces were usually assigned to the defense of specific locations, they sometimes served as mobile units, such as comitatenses (field armies), and it is not correct to define the limitanei as simply local peasant soldiers. However, the comitatenses established by Constantine were the mainstay of the Roman army in the later period of the Roman Empire.

ローマ皇帝コンスタンチヌス1世 (大帝)とその後継皇帝たちによって配置された国境防衛軍。騎兵と歩兵より成り,屯田兵として耕作も行なった。その部隊は通常特定の地点の防衛にあたるが,ときとしてコミタテンセス (野戦軍) のような機動力を発動する場合もあり,リミタネイを単に現地農民兵と規定することは正しくない。しかしコンスタンチヌスによって増設されたコミタテンセスがローマ帝国後期のローマ軍の主力であった。
