Neckar-Odenwald Limes
The Neckar-Odenwald Limes (german: Neckar-Odenwald-Limes) is a collective term for two, very different early sections of the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes, a Roman defensive frontier line that may have been utilised during slightly different periods in history. The Neckar-Odenwald Limes consists of the northern Odenwald Limes (''Odenwaldlimes''), a cross-country ''limes'' with camps, watchtowers and palisades, which linked the River Main (Latin: ''Moenus'') with the Neckar (Latin: ''Nicer''), and the adjoining southern Neckar Limes (''Neckarlimes''), which in earlier research was seen as a typical 'riverine limes' (German: ''Nasser Limes''; Latin: ''limes ripa''), whereby the river replaced the function of the palisade as an approach obstacle. More recent research has thrown a different light on this way of viewing things that means may have to be relativized in future.Stephan Bender: Unser Bild vom Neckarlimes: bald nur noch Geschichte?(pdf; 6.0 MB).''

Two-round System
The two-round system (TRS), also known as runoff voting, second ballot, or ballotage, is a voting method used to elect a single candidate, where voters cast a single vote for their preferred candidate. It generally ensures a majoritarian result, not a simple plurality result as under First past the post. Under the two-round election system, the election process usually proceeds to a second round only if in the first round no candidate received a simple majority (more than 50%) of votes cast, or some other lower prescribed percentage. Under the two-round system, usually only the two candidates who received the most votes in the first round, or only those candidates who received above a prescribed proportion of the votes, are candidates in the second round. Other candidates are excluded from the second round. The two-round system is widely used in the election of legislative bodies and directly elected presidents, as well as in other contexts, such as in the election of politica ...
