Cornelii Taciti De Vita Agricolae
Adamklissi
The geographical position of the monument of Adamklissi is at first sight unimpressive. There is nothing dramatic about the low and rolling hills of the southern Dobrudja, but in a wider setting its northern end looms large. Physically, it blocks the direct eastward flow of the Danube, causing the formation of the wellknown double bend by which the great river reaches the Black Sea. In fact, in relation to human movement, the Dobrudja and it alon…

Anniversary Address
The benign personification of our Society as The Old Lady is a homage which endears itself the more as the years increase enjoyment of her service. We endow her with comeliness, and recognize both her caprice and her gift of growing old more gracefully than her critics, while acquiring in the process, after a wild youth by present-day standards, the sovereign qualities of experience and good sense. Nor does she lack the power of innovation which …
Palmyra under the Aegis of Rome
In the most southerly group of desert routes between Syria and Mesopotamia Palmyra lies at the cross-roads. The north-eastward route from Damascus to Circesium is crossed by the eastward route from Emesa, now Homs, to Babylonia. Palmyra owes this key-position first to its precious springs and secondly to the fact that here the natural traffic lines from west to east debouch from the Syrian mountains into the head of the eastwardlooking basin of t…
The Roman Siege-Works of Masàda, Israel
The western shore of the Dead Sea, the most remarkable natural feature in Palestine (fig. 4), is a strip of flat or very gently sloping land, mostly barren, its parched surface seamed with a wrinkled pattern of erosion channels. The strip represents in part the old bed of the lake, once larger than now, and in part the spill of detritus from the rocky cliffs which tower above it. These precipitous heights form an almost unbroken wall some 300 ft.…
A New Building-Inscription from the Saxon-Shore Fort at Reculver, Kent
Excavations have recently been conducted at the Saxon-Shore fort of Reculver (Regulbium) by Mr. Brian Philp, through whose kindness the writer is able to comment upon the inscription here discussed (fig. i). Eleven fragments comprise a substantive part of an inscribed rectangular slab, of local calcareous sandstone, now 111⁄2 in. high. All the margins except the bottom one are in evidence, and exhibit plain edges, as if the slab had either been s…

Roman Britain, 1910–1960
In 1910, when the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies was founded, the study of Roman Britain was already firmly set upon its path. Earlier brilliant treatments by F. Haverfield, in Traill's Social England , in the Victoria County History and in his own Romanization of Roman Britain , had set a general picture which was an attractive and cogent synthesis of the evidence provided by literature and archaeology. There already existed, thanks …

The Temple of Sulis-Minerva at Bath
The Roman remains at Bath, dominated by the stately thermal establishment, have always been associated in geography and in archaeology with the goddess Sulis-Minerva. The famous pediment of her temple, found when the eighteenth-century Pump Room was built, has long been accounted one of the most remarkable manifestations of Romano-British art; its richly carved reliefs have always invited restoration; and they at once received it, somewhat sketch…
Queen Cartimandua
Queen Cartimandua of the Brigantes is the first queen in British history to play a determining part in a policy for the whole island. She does not hold the stage with the outraged fury of Boudicca: no description of her appearance, terrifying or otherwise, has come down to us. But until the moment when the neglectful terms of a husband's will and the tactlessness and bestiality of Roman officials drove Boudicca and her nobility into revolt, Carti…

Hadrian's Wall, 1939–1949
In the annals of archaeology on Hadrian's Wall the decade 1929-1939 will always stand out as the time when the principal periods in the history of the monument were firmly fixed and the complicated relationship between its component parts was securely defined. The decade which has followed and is now due for summary, broken by war and still hampered by peace, cannot claim to rival the preceding ten years. Nevertheless, the fixing of the main line…
Stukeley's Lamp, The Badge of the Society of Antiquaries
‘A Roman brass lamp from St. Leonard's Hill was given to the Society of Antiquaries and adopted by them for their common seal.’ So runs the note by Haverfield in the Victoria County History of Berkshire which records, under the heading ‘Windsor’, the discovery and subsequent fate of the bronze lamp which forms this Society's seal and adorns, in brass inlay, the marble pavement of its entrance hall
I.— The British Section of the Ravenna Cosmography
The compilation of the Ravenna Cosmography, as we have it, belongs to the late seventh century. It was done by a cleric of Ravenna, for one Odo, whom he describes as ‘dearset brother’ and ‘friend’, and the object of the work is to furnish a list of the countries, towns, and rivers of the known world, compiled from Greek, Roman, and Gothic authors. The author, who nowhere states his name, observes that a list was chosen as the form for the work, f…

Trajan’s Army on Trajan's Column
The best illustrations of the army which extended and protected the Roman Empire are to be seen on Trajan's Column. They are not, however, thoroughly known to classical students, for reasons which are worth stating. The primary reason is undoubtedly the scarcity of Cichorius's reproductions of the reliefs and the still greater rarity of plaster casts; but an important contributory factor is the bewildering quantity and peculiar quality of the mat…

Agricola was the governor of Britain for seven years in the later part of the first century AD, and this account of his life written by his son-in-law, historian Cornelius Tacitus, is the primary source for the Roman conquest of the north of Britain
A Romano-British Interment, with Bucket and Sceptres, from Brough, East Yorkshire
The Roman Ermine Street, having crossed the Humber on the way to York from Lincoln, leaves Brough Haven on its west side, and the little town of Petuaria to the east. For the first half-mile northwards from the Haven its course is not certainly known: then, followed by the modern road, it runs northwards through South Cave towards Market Weighton. In the area thus traversed by the Roman road burials of the Roman age have already been noted in suf…

Roman Verona
Archaeology sheds little light upon the origins of Verona, but ancient literary tradition assigns its foundation to the Rhaetians and Euganeans of northern Italy, while modern philologists do not hesitate to identify the name Verona as Gallic. Actually, there is no doubt that, as Pliny asserts, the town lay in Rhaetian land, for inscriptions mentioning Rhaetian deities and religious functionaries come from its neighbourhood. One may even guess at…

The Sarmatae, Bremetennacvm Veteranorvm and the Regio Bremetennacensis
The Roman fort at Ribchester is one of the important strategic centres of Northern Britain (fig. 1), where a Roman road from south to north crossed the river Ribble, while another went eastwards to the legionary fortress at York through the Aire Gap and yet a third ran north-westwards to the Fylde. The Ribble, still tidal as far as Ribchester, may well have been navigable in Roman times as far as the lower crossing by a north-south road at Walton…
Three Fragments of Roman Official Statues, from York, Lincoln, and Silchester
Official statuary of the Roman period in Britain is now so rare as to be almost wholly unexpected. The few well-known examples have long since been published, and only gleanings remain. But these gleanings are valuable, since they offer a fresh clue to the past existence in official surroundings of important Imperial statues on a wider scale than has hitherto been proved

The Irish Analogies for the Romano-British Barn Dwelling
A good deal of attention has recently been paid to the Romano-British House of the type known as ‘basilican’ or ‘basilical,’ the long barn-like building with a fairly broad central nave and a pair of side-aisles, often bratticed off so as to form separate rooms, which sometimes extend right across the body of the hall. So far as we know the distribution of this type in bulk is restricted to the south of England. But it does occur so far north as …
Five Town-Walls in Hispania Citerior
The affinities of the group of Spanish town-walls now to be described are little known, and the walls themselves are of small fame outside Spain. Mélida's book containing a short account of the Lugo wall is rare; Astorga, Barcelona, León and Zaragoza have not been described in detail. Yet they form a distinct group, with common peculiarities which deserve attention, apart from the date and significance of the whole
The Relation of the Praetorian Camp to Aurelian's Wall of Rome
This paper is the result of testing the following proposition, formed during a study of the City Wall of Rome. It was required to prove that the Praetorian Camp had remained unchanged after Seianus built it in A.D. 23 until Aurelian made an addition to its walls when he attached them to his City Wall in A.D. 271. Thus might have been gained with ease an undoubted example of Aurelianic brick-facing for use in identifying work of the same period in…

Part of the Stem of a Roman Monumental Candelabrum of Stone, from York
In 1876, while the York railway station and goods yard were being planned anew by the North Eastern Railway (now the London and North Eastern Railway), a carved stone was found on the ‘hill near the New Goods Station’, a site of which the exact position, now obscured by still more extensive railway development, is discussed below (see p. 7). The stone was presented by the Directors of the North Eastern Railway to the Yorkshire Philosophical Socie…
Commemorative Arches and City Gates in the Augustan Age
In three years' time, a hundred years will have passed since Luigi Rossini issued his series of plates illustrating Roman triumphal arches in Italy, delineations of interest not only for their accuracy and beauty, but also because Rossini made them the basis of the first detailed study of the Triumphal Arch as an artistic object in itself, treated apart from the surroundings which it embellished. All subsequent workers, Curtis, Nilsson, Loewy and…
The Mausoleum of Augustus
The early history of the Augusteo, as the Mausoleum of Augustus is now called, wins little space in contemporary literature. Among classical writers first Strabo and then Suetonius tell us that Augustus built for himself and his family, between the Via Flaminia and the Tiber, this huge circular tumulus, crowned with evergreens, surmounted by his own effigy in bronze, and retained by a lofty base of white stone. And these accounts supplement one a…

The Turf Wall of Hadrian, 1895–1935
The turf-built sector of Hadrian's Wall was discovered in 1895 by the Cumberland Excavation Committee, at Appletree, east of Wall Bowers milecastle, 51. In the next three years, the associated ditch was traced underneath Birdoswald Fort and under the Stone Wall at milecastles 49 (Harrow's Scar) and 51, forming thus a two-mile loop-line (pl. 1) with the ditch of the Stone Wall which it preceded. The recognition of the new Wall as turf-built was ma…

The Antonine Frontier in Scotland
The second edition of Sir George Macdonald's Roman Wall in Scotland has provoked a new interest in the problems presented by that limes ; and no contribution to the discussion is likely to be more stimulating than that propounded above (p. 80 ff.) by Professor Collingwood. The bold thesis there developed is that the Antonine Wall was the slightest of barriers, a toy frontier manned by a garrison whose energies were divided and wasted between patr…

Ancient Rome and Northern England. A Historical Summary
On the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire, the upland country of northern England always belonged to the military zone. Even today, anyone traversing the wild fells of Pennine or Cheviot, which form its backbone, can soon appreciate why this should be: and understanding becomes complete when imagination has pierced the dark vista of medieval forest and outlaws' haunts and apprehended a state of affairs when the bounds between man and nature w…
