The report presents the preliminary results of the work of the Polish-Moroccan expedition in the region of the ancient city Volubilis in 2018. The research carried out in Morocco aims to answer the question of the appearance and functioning of the border defence system of the province Mauritania Tingitana. The topic is not sufficiently developed in existing publications. Field research has provided new data and interesting field observations. Recognition of the human activity from the Roman period in the region has allowed us to collect interesting ceramic material for preliminary dating of the sites.

This contribution presents the first results of two surveys (2014, 2016) in the vicinity of the ancient city of Volubilis, situated in the southern part of the Roman province Mauretania Tingitana. The main purpose was to assess the possibilities of non-invasive research of the forts established by the Romans as part of the defensive system of Volubilis and to investigate the character of the Roman defences on the southern border. Forts were connected with watchtowers which completed the system protecting the territory in question. Many interesting fragments of pottery have been found at those sites, which may confirm Roman presence in many, though not all points. Collected field information as well as the analysis of publications leads to the conclusion that the border defence arrangements at Volubilis might not be considered as a part of a centrally organised limes system, safe guarding the entire province, but as the defensive system of the city and its surroundings.
