Using large datasets, he traces regional differences in the persistence, adaptation and abandonment of Roman styles as imperial structures weakened and new post-Roman political communities began to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crossbow brooch or decorated belt fitting could signal rank, yet such objects were not worn only by soldiers. Civil administrators and local elites also adopted military-looking dress, making it difficult to divide people neatly into Roman officials and everyone else. Henry compares brooches, belts, spurs and coins across Britain: in some regions Roman styles persisted into the fifth century, while in others they faded much earlier. The changes were uneven, and the small objects left behind make that unevenness visible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archaeopress Archaeology","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67696901783686,"sku":"9781805832454","price":190.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/9199\/6550\/files\/aevum-c6-9781805832454-cover.jpg?v=1792039995","url":"https:\/\/aevumbooks.com\/products\/fractured-britannia-the-twilight-of-roman-britain-9781805832454","provider":"Aevum Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
