Roman Frontier Studies 2009: Proceedings of the XXI International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies (Limes Congress) held at Newcastle upon Tyne in August 2009

Roman Frontier Studies 2009 publishes the proceedings of the twenty-first International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies held at Newcastle upon Tyne. Its large collection of papers ranges across the Empire’s frontier zones, covering forts, roads, logistics, civilian settlements, families, material culture and interactions beyond the imperial boundary.

The breadth is the point: Roman frontiers are treated as inhabited military and social landscapes rather than simple defensive lines. Regional studies from Britain, the Germanies, the Danube, North Africa and elsewhere allow different frontier systems to be compared. At more than seven hundred pages, this is a specialist research collection for readers of Roman military archaeology and frontier studies.
