Feeding the Roman Army in Britain
How did the Roman Empire supply and maintain its frontier garrisons? What was the impact on populations and landscapes of conquered territories? TheFeeding the Roman Army in Britainproject will answer these questions by establishing how soldiers were provisioned and how frontiers operated as economic as well as militarised zones
The Forum-Basilica at Caerwent (Venta Silurum)
Lying at the heart of the city of Venta Silurum, the forum-basilica at Caerwent tells the public, municipal, story of the Civitas Silurum in south Wales. The re-excavation of this complex between 1987 and 1995 revealed a wealth of new information that has a great deal to tell us about the history of the city and the fortunes of its inhabitants. Constructed in the early second century and rebuilt in the middle of the fourth century, the forum-basi…
On the hoof
Provisioning large concentrations of professional soldiers in Britain after the invasion in AD 43 was a major challenge for the Roman imperial administration. In a distant frontier province such as Britannia, it is generally believed that locally produced agricultural resources must have been vital in feeding and maintaining the occupying army, but direct evidence for this is limited. This study explores the potential for strontium isotope analys…
The Roman Coins
Exploring Roman Caerleon
The Roman legionary fortress at Caerleon in south Wales, has been subject to archaeological investigation for more than 150 years, including the well-known amphitheatre excavations
The Early Monetary History of Roman Wales
Over 52,000 Roman coins have been recorded and published from Wales. Using this comprehensive numismatic sample, this article investigates how coins of different metals and denominations were used and lost in western Britain during the later Iron Age and early Roman periods. The analysis of coins from hoards, excavated sites and single finds produces a more detailed picture of coin supply and use in Roman Britain than has been the case in the pas…
The Interpretation of Roman Coins - Practice and Theory
Numismatics, together with epigraphy, provided the framework for the earliest syntheses of the Roman world from Gibbon and on into the nineteenth century. Historians such as Theodor Mommsen used the copious evidence from Roman coins to construct the first modern analytical explanations of Roman imperialism. The reasons for this are as obvious now as they were then -Roman coins are readily identifiable artefacts; they were decorated with persons, …
