Investigating migration and mobility in the Early Roman frontier. The case of the Batavi in the Dutch Rhine delta (c. 50/30 BC–AD 40) (original) (raw)

This research investigates migration and mobility dynamics among the Batavians in the Dutch Rhine delta during the early Roman period (c. 50/30 BC–AD 40). It employs interdisciplinary methodologies, integrating historical, archaeological, and scientific analyses to assess migratory patterns against previously established notions heavily reliant on literary sources. By focusing on material culture and new analytical techniques, the study seeks to enhance understanding of how migration shaped social structures and interactions in the context of the Roman Empire.
