The birth and growth of Utrecht - At the beginning of the Christian era, the Romans dominated extensive parts of Europe. In north-west Europe, the Rhine had become the northern border of their empire. A further expansion into the north did not make sense. This explains why the Roman Emperor Claudius commissioned his general Corbulo to set up a line of fortresses along the Rhine in 47 A.D.
