Roman Frontier Archaeology - In Britain And Beyond - Papers In Honour Of Paul Bidwell Presented On The Occasion Of The 30th Annual Conference Of The Arbeia Society

3,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Roman Frontier Archaeology - in Britain and beyond gathers contributions by some 30 leading archaeologists and historians in honour of Paul Bidwell. In a wide-ranging career Paul has been one of the leading excavators and pottery specialists of his generation, admired for his ground-breaking work both in the south-west and the military north of Roman Britain. Contributions reflect the wide range of Paul Bidwell’s interests. Studies of samian pottery use, coins, carved stone pinecones, multi-piece bone dice and agricultural strategies shed light on the economy and everyday life of a Roman frontier province. For the civil southern part of the province there are studies of place-names and various aspects of the public baths of the Roman cities, as well as the impact of changing sea-levels on coastal topography. A number of contributions focus on the problems of the military north and Hadrian’s Wall, including studies of the nineteenth century antiquarian pioneers and assessments of the purpose of the Wall, the possibility of destructive attacks by an enemy, the way in which Roman forts were designed, and the use of Iron Age tradition military gear by the Roman army. The papers also take us beyond Britannia to consider developments on and beyond Rome’s Eastern, Danube and North African frontiers. The collection will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in either the civil or military aspects of Roman Britain, or the frontiers of the Roman empire. Paul Bidwell (1949-2022) Tragically Paul Bidwell died after a short illness in November 2022 soon after being presented with this book by his friends and colleagues. What was conceived as a gesture to honour Paul has become, in effect, a monument to one of the most respected Roman archaeologists of his generation, and a testament to the wide range of his archaeological interests and achievements.

Excavations At Chester. Roman Land Fivision And A Probable Villa In The Hinterland Of Deva - Excavation At Saighton Army Camp, Huntington, Chester

de David G. Griffiths e Philip N. Wood

3,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Excavations at Chester. Roman land division and a probable villa in the hinterland of Deva reports on excavations carried out by Northern Archaeological Associates (NAA) at Saighton Camp - a former British Army training camp - located to the south of the Roman legionary fortress of Chester (Deva Victrix) which revealed important and extensive Roman period remains. Part of a high-status settlement of second- to fourth-century date, together with a regular field system laid out over more than 20 hectares, were encountered. The excavated settlement appears to be an ancillary area to a much larger site, the centre of which lies to the south and is believed to be a villa. This is the closest such site to Chester, and villas are notably rare in the region. The field system was probably laid out by the legion at Deva as part of the prata legionis, agricultural lands they controlled around the fortress.

Les Représentations De Mars Ultor Sur Les Pierres Gravées

de Thibault (Universite Lumiere Lyon 2) Girard

21,20€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Les représentations de Mars Ultor sur les pierres gravées is principally devoted to engraved stones representing the Mars Ultor type and aims to restore them to their rightful place. When Adolf Furtwängler, in his study of the Somzée collection, determined the Mars Ultor type from a statuette in the same collection, he chose to use only two artefacts for comparison: the engraved gem from the Marlborough collection and a sesterce of Antoninus Pius. Monumental sculpture and reliefs did not provide reliable anchors for the type. Even the famous statue from the Capitoline Museum did not find favour with him. Paradoxically, the studies that followed Furtwängler''s focused on the ‘high arts’, intentionally leaving aside the intaglios and the glass pastes, which are the only contemporary examples of the original statue, now lost. Gems representing the Mars Ultor type were produced between the 1st and 4th centuries. They attest to the longevity and impact of the Augustan image in Roman iconography and allow us to follow the variations in meaning of the motif. Scattered around the world and without documented contexts, the 240-odd engraved stones gathered here prove - if it were still necessary to do so - that the great masterpieces of art history have had a much more important survival on these small objects than on the great monuments traditionally at the centre of iconographic studies. Comparison with statuettes and coins representing the Mars Ultor type also offers a historical and religious view of the cult of the god, promoted by Octavian after the Battle of Philippi.

Hadrian'S Wall: Exploring Its Past To Protect Its Future

3,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Through the voices of over 20 Hadrian''s Wall enthusiasts - chosen amongst prominent frontier scholars and archaeologists, re-enactors, curators, walkers and site managers - this volume celebrates the 1900th anniversary of Hadrian’s visit to Britain and the building of the Wall. Together, the authors explore issues such as the impact of environmental changes on archaeology and the innovative technologies used in monitoring and managing the Wall and its collections. The book highlights not only the ways in which Hadrian’s Wall can be protected for future generations, but also the ways in which it affects the identities of those who work and travel along it. Rather than a retrospective of work undertaken so far, or an attempt to impose theoretical frameworks onto a living landscape, it offers a realistic discussion of current issues and solutions in the exploration, management and protection of Hadrian’s Wall, from the point of view of those living, visiting, researching and working along it.

Changing Landscapes Of Rome'S Northern Hinterland - The British School At Rome'S Tiber Valley Project

de Helen Patterson, Helga Di Giuseppe e Robert Witcher

3,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Changing Landscapes of Rome's Northern Hinterland presents a new regional history of the middle Tiber valley as a lens through which to view the emergence and transformation of the city of Rome from 1000 BC to AD 1000. Setting the ancient city within the context of its immediate territory, the authors reveal the diverse and enduring links between the metropolis and its hinterland. At the heart of the volume is a detailed consideration of the results of a complete restudy of the pioneering South Etruria Survey (c. 1955-1970), one of the earliest and most influential Mediterranean landscape projects. Between 1998 and 2002, an international team based at the British School at Rome conducted a comprehensive restudy of the material and documentary archive generated by the South Etruria Survey. The results were supplemented with a number of other published and unpublished sources of archaeological evidence to create a database of around 5000 sites across southern Etruria and the Sabina Tiberina, extending in date from the Bronze Age, through the Etruscan/Sabine, Republican and imperial periods, to the middle ages. Analysis and discussion of these data have appeared in a series of interim articles published over the past two decades; the present volume offers a final synthesis of the project results. The chapters include the first detailed assessment of the field methods of the South Etruria Survey, an extended discussion of the use of archaeological legacy data, and new insights into the social and economic connectivities between Rome and the communities of its northern hinterland across two millennia. The volume as a whole demonstrates how the archaeological evidence generated by landscape surveys can be used to rewrite narrative histories, even those based on cities as familiar as ancient Rome. Includes contributions by Martin Millett, Simon Keay and Christopher Smith, and a preface by Andrew Wallace-Hadrill.

Roman Pottery Manufacturing Site In Highgate Wood: Excavations 1966-78

de A. E. Brown e H. L. Sheldon

3,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Excavations over a period of eight years uncovered at least ten pottery kilns, waster heaps, ditches and pits, but only a few definite structures. The pottery from the site indicates a period of operation extending from the first half of the 1st century AD to the later 2nd century. The pottery made at the site included initially a vegetable tempered handmade ware, but subsequently the bulk of it consisted of a grog tempered ware and then pottery in a sandy fabric which is well known from assemblages in London. The type of kiln varied with the pottery fabric; there was possible evidence for a pre-Roman pit firing, and later kilns set in ditches were of the twin flued type, eventually replaced by the more familiar above ground kilns with raised floors. Changes in pottery fabric were reflected in different methods of clay preparation, which led to changes in the function of the various ditches, the stratigraphy of which, along with the variation in the fabrics, was significant in enabling the four broad phases into which the site has been divided, to be proposed. The report includes a very detailed analysis of the forms and fabrics of the pottery made at Highgate. Finds of prehistoric flintwork and pottery during the excavation, and of material of later date, together with the observation of earthworks and historical research, have been used to show the place of the pottery kilns as an element in the exploitation of the woodland of northern London over the last eight thousand years.

Les Pratiques Funeraires En Gaule Lyonnaise De L'Epoque Augusteenne A La Fin Du 3e Siecle

de Andras Marton

21,20€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Les pratiques funeraires en Gaule lyonnaise de l'epoque augusteenne a la fin du 3e siecle aims to provide an overview of Roman burial practices in the Gallia Lugdunensis province during the Early Roman Empire. Among the different approaches proposed by R. Reece for the study of Roman cemeteries, this work focuses on grave treatment and grave furnishing. The funerary practices are thus apprehended through the study of the structure of the tombs and the selection and treatment of the grave goods and human remains. The main objective was to propose a synthesis of the published finds which could serve as a basis for future research. The analysis consists of a documentary review of the published data (presented in the catalogue and numerous tables) as complete as possible, accompanied by a detailed analysis of the latest information available to highlight trends regarding the entire province, and the peculiarities seen at a regional level. Many graphics and maps support this analysis. Many general trends, common to the western provinces of the Roman Empire, were detected, but also many particularities linked to the regional nature of the funerary practices and the economic and social situation of the communities. Some of these particularities reflect more profound cultural differences due to the unequal penetration of Mediterranean funerary practices into the territory of the province. They reflect the somewhat 'artificial' formation of the Gallia Lugdunensis, which incorporated tribes belonging to different cultural spheres (sharing particularities with Aquitania and the Belgic Gaul or more exposed to the Mediterranean influences).
