Book description

This Element volume provides an up-to-date synthesis of the archaeology of the Roman conquest, combining new theoretical and methodological approaches with the latest fieldwork results. Recent advances in conflict archaeology research are revolutionising our knowledge of Rome's military campaigns in Western and Central Europe, allowing scholars to reassess the impact of the conquest on the indigenous populations. The volume explores different types of material evidence for the Roman wars of conquest, including temporary camps, battlefields, coinage production, and regional settlement patterns. These and other topics are examined using four case studies: Caesar's Gallic Wars, the Cantabrian and Asturian Wars, the Germanic Wars of Augustus, and the Roman conquest of Britain. By focusing on the 'dark sides' of the Roman expansion and reclaiming the memory of the conquered, the Element aims to contribute to a more holistic understanding of the processes of incorporation and integration into the Roman Empire.

Reviews

‘Archaeology of the Roman Conquest is an entirely convincing reevaluation of the violent actions undertaken by Roman commanders as they conquered substantial areas of Western Europe and of the variable responses of local communities to these invasions. It will become required reading for anyone interested in the assimilation of these peoples into the Roman Empire.'

Richard Hingley - Durham University

‘The Roman conquest of Western Europe is well-studied by generations of scholars. The authors nevertheless succeed in providing new insights into a history that is still highly topical today.'

Stefan Burmeister - Museum und Park Kalkriese
