Description

In September 1989 the 15th International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies took place at the University of Kent in Canterbury. This volume presents 100 of the papers which were given on that occasion by scholars from 19 countries in Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. Geographically, the material presented ranges from Britain to the Caucusus, North Africa and Spain. The first section consists of papers dealing with individual frontier regions, fort and fortress sites, army units and related military matters, including overall surveys of the most significant work in Britain and Germany in the 1980s. The second section explores three general themes: the relations between Romans and natives in the peripheral areas of the Empire; the practicalities of life in the frontier regions; and problems peculiar to desert frontiers.

Description

This volume presents one hundred of the papers given at the Fifteenth International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies. Geographically the material ranges throughout the frontier regions of the Roman Empire from Britain to the Caucasus, the Low Countries to Upper Egypt, Spain to Jordan. The first section deals with individual frontier regions, fort and fortress sites, army units and related military matters a overall surveys of significant work carried out in Britain and Germany in the 1980s. The second section explores three more general themes: the relations between "Romans" and "natives" on the peripheral areas of the Empire, the realities of life in a frontier region, and the problems peculiar to desert frontiers.
