New images of the Limes in the Netherlands on Wikimedia Commons edit

(Apologies for posting this in English)

Dear all,

The Erfgoedhuis Zuid-Holland, a Dutch heritage organisation, made some 200 images on the Dutch part of the Limes available on Wikimedia Commons. The images depict Roman re-enactment scenes, artifacts, and some digital reconstructions of Roman buildings. A subset of this collection comes from the image library of the Dutch National Antiquities Museum, which recently made its images available under a CC-BY license. The entire collection on Wikimedia Commons can be accessed here, the sub-collection from the antiquities museum can be found here.

Somewhat strange sentence edit

One of the first sentences of the article strikes me as somewhat strange. I admit that I am not a native speaker of English, but I think I can still say this. This is sentence in question: "The Lower Germanic Limes separated that part of the Rhineland left of the Rhine as well as the Netherlands, which was part of the Roman Empire, from the less tightly controlled regions east of the Rhine." Now in my opinion this can be wrongfully read as if the whole of the present day Netherlands were part of the Roman Empire. This is clearly not the case (see the map). I would suggest to reformulate as follow: "The Lower Germanic Limes separated that part of the Rhineland and the Netherlands left of the Rhine, which was part of the Roman Empire, from the less tightly controlled regions east and north of the Rhine."
