Mit einem Fund nahe der niederländischen Nordseeküste in Valkenburg (Provinz Zuid-Holland) ist nun genau dies eingetreten. Dort wurde ein römisches Lager in der Größe eines Legionsstützpunktes entdeckt. Die Ausgrabungen dauerten bis Mai 2021.

Fairly recently, archaeological research in The Netherlands has provided more detailed information on the effects of Domitian’s reign here. The question is what these archaeological data add to the knowledge of the actual, material deposit of Domitian’s imperial policies along the Lower German limes.

Central questions are what influence the Roman army had on the civilian population, how the contacts between both groups were shaped, and how the individual soldiers interacted with civilians. The influence of the army was most prominent at the forts, but was also present outside the areas where the military was stationed. Civilians enlisted in the army, creating intermediaries. The Roman cities also functioned as transition points between the army and the civilian population, but they may have had other, more primary military functions as well. Contacts between the two groups were generally peaceful and provided benefits for both. As military and civilian communities became increasingly intertwined, it is likely that individual contacts between the two also contributed to this process.

Van maart 1984 tot en met november 2019 was hij in dienst van de gemeente Den Haag. In deze periode heeft Ab tal van onderzoeken geleid en zo bijgedragen aan onze kennis van het verleden van de stad, maar ook van ver daarbuiten. Zijn studies en publicaties zijn voor menig archeoloog een bron van informatie en inspiratie geweest. Met deze verzameling van artikelen willen wij Ab bedanken en hem tonen wat zijn werk heeft betekend.

Even though Provincial Roman archaeology was not an offi cial specialization before 2012, the Faculty conducted research on two Roman period settlements in the coastal area of south-western Holland. These two sites produced evidence of the existence of a supra-regional exchange network, of which traces can be found on other sites in the region. It can be concluded that Roman State or Military investments resulted in processes leading to increasing connectivity in coastal areas of the Roman Empire, but that the expansion and sustainability of the connections varied over time.

A selection of the top 100 gives an insight into the eventful history of life on the Lower German Limes.

Bruin, J. de, 2019. Border communities at the Edge of the Roman Empire. Processes of Change in the Civitas Cananefatium. Amsterdam Archaeological Studies 28. Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press., 2019

The formation of this community, as well as the changes that took place within this group, were researched by means of a systematic analysis of the archaeological remains. In order to understand the role of the Roman state in these processes, the urban and military communities were also studied. In this way an overview was created of an administrative region in which aspects such as the interaction between the different groups, the character of the rural community and the differences with other rural groups along the borders of the Roman Empire could be studied.

Much of the results of their work is available in written publications or in digital datasets archived in the e-depot Dutch Archaeology (edna) accommodated in the dans-easy environment. Regrettably, many excavations carried out prior to the anchoring of the 1992 Malta convention in national legislation have not been analysed and published, but often bits and pieces of the information collected at that time are available in the heads of colleagues. The results of very recent excavations have not been disclosed either, as their analysis is still in progress, but various fellow archaeologists have very willingly replied to our questions.

Drawing upon a wealth of data made available in recent decades, the essays showcase the vibrancy of research on the provinces of Rome and present the innovative interpretations to specific contemporary issues in the Roman provincial studies. The case-studies, written by renowned international contributors, further the research into the female and juvenile presence on Roman military sites, challenge our knowledge of military units, present new levels of analysis on provincial cooking, and delve on the subjects of Roman military equipment, leather, personal adornments and soft furnishings.

This book is not only a collection of thematically-divided essays dealing with current issues in the Roman provincial studies, it is also a festschrift for Dr Carol van Driel-Murray whose career focused on various aspects of life in the provinces of the Roman Empire. This volume is presented to celebrate achievements of Carol, who has always been keen to tackle entrenched opinions with provocative and profound ideas, and who introduced gender issues in times when this could still lead to a fierce scholarly debate. She is cherished by generations of her former students – many of whom contribute to this volume – as a loved substitute mother: a true Matrona Provinciarum Archaeologiae Romanarum. In line with Carol’s innovative work, the contributions in this volume also challenge long-standing perceptions and provide avenues for further research.

The volume is primarily targeted at academics, researchers, and students of Roman provincial archaeology and history, with particular relevance for frontier specialists and those interested in the material culture. The book will appeal to the re-enactors and those working in experimental archaeology, as few essays discuss at length the subject of experiments and the issues they raise, as well as providing evidence to be tested in the field.

Rurale gemeenschappen in de civitas Cananefatium 50-300 na Christus, 2017

De vorming van deze gemeenschap, alsmede de veranderingen die binnen de identiteit van deze groep plaatsvonden zijn onderzocht door middel van een systematische analyse van de aanwezige archeologische resten. Om de rol van de Romeinse staat in deze processen te duiden, zijn ook de stedelijke en militaire gemeenschappen in de analyse betrokken. Op deze manier is een overzicht ontstaan van een landschappelijke en administratieve regio waarbij aspecten als de interactie tussen de verschillende groepen, het karakter van de rurale gemeenschappen en het contact met andere rurale groepen langs de grenzen van het Romeinse rijk bestudeerd konden worden.
