Kaminski The Roman Empire depended on the power of its armies to defend and extend the imperial borders, enabling it to dominate much of Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East. Success was, in large part, founded on well-trained, well-disciplined soldiers who were equipped with the most advanced arms and armour available at that time. This is the story of the production of that armour. Roman Imperial Armour presents an examination of the metals the armour was made from, of how the ores containing those metals were extracted from the earth and transformed into workable metal, and of how that raw product was made into the armour of the Roman army. The policing and protecting of such a huge empire required a large and wellorganised force and the book goes on to consider the organisation of the army, its size, composition, the logistics involved in its deployment and provisioning and the training, remuneration and benefits offered to its men at arms.

This paper offers a holistic framework for analysing socio-economic impact of heritage sites. It presents impract as a dynamic concept and provides a typological basis for analysing impacts. Such a holistic approach will provide a useful basis from which heritage managers can conceptualise socio-economic impact.

The strategic significance of the town rapidly decreased after its capture by the Counts of Flanders and an abbey was constructed; this was destroyed in the sixteenth century (iconoclastic fury); the final destruction of the abbey took place at the end of the eighteenth century in the French Revolution... This paper will consider how the town of Ename has exploited its archaeological and historical resources, and what effect this has had on the town. Consideration will be given to the role of technology at the cultural heritage sites in Ename.

This model can be used by heritage sites and museums to both guide ICT investments and provide a framework for impact evaluation. The model considers what factors are likely to influence impacts and outcomes associated with the deployment of information technology at museums and heritage sites. More importantly it considers what issues heritage professionals need to consider when making investments in ICT.

European Union support for the development of digital cross-border means for conducting business ... more European Union support for the development of digital cross-border means for conducting business and running governments has fundamentally changed how public and private business is conducted. But this digital information has to remain available for long periods, often beyond the life expectancy of individual information systems or technological components. This poses a significant challenge for both the original data creators and digital archives that have to be capable of both dealing with the most current information technology, and with “saving” information from legacy systems. To deal with these challenges, it is necessary to bridge the gap between the methods used in digital preservation and content creation and introduce additional practical interoperability into the solutions used for a Digital Single Market and digital preservation infrastructures. The European Commission recognized the need in 2013 and funded the E-ARK project (2014–2017), which successfully delivered a se...
