This handbook is a highly informative invitation to all classical archaeologists to explore recent analyses of the rich archaeological datasets available for the Roman Empire’s German provinces. The handbook thus foregrounds the efforts of Roman provincial scholars to further international collaboration in the study of individual provinces, in comparisons of the interactions that shaped life in adjacent and distant parts of the Empire, and in assessing how these interactions involved peoples outside the Empire’s borders. This volume has several strengths. Its chapters cover a wide range of topics and include plentiful examples of all kinds of archaeological finds from Roman Germany. Moreover, the thematic bibliographies that follow each chapter provide readers with multiple avenues for further research. Some chapters explicitly address current methodological and theoretical approaches in German-language scholarship on Roman Germany while others do so implicitly. In either case, each chapter provides insight into these approaches that will better allow interested parties to dive deeper into the handbook’s subject material. This review touches on these strengths and a few accompanying limitations primarily through a step-by-step overview of the handbook’s chapters. Pertany a aquestes sèries
Germania was one of the most important and complex zones of cultural interaction and conflict between Rome and neighbouring societies. A vast region, it became divided into urbanised provinces with elaborate military frontiers and the northern part of the continental 'Barbaricum'. Recent decades have seen a major effort by German archaeologists, ancient historians, epigraphers, numismatists, and other specialists to explore the Roman era in their own territory, with rich and often surprising new knowledge. This Handbook aims to make the results of this great effort of modern German and overwhelmingly German-language scholarship more widely available to Anglophone scholarship on the empire. Archaeology and ancient history are international enterprises characterised by specific national scholarly traditions; this is notably true of the study of Roman-era Germania. This volume compromises a collection of essays in English by leading scholars working in Germany, presenting the latest developments in current research as well as situating their work within wider international scholarship through a series of critical responses from other, very different, national perspectives. In doing so, this book aims to reveal the riches of the archaeology of Roman Germany, promote the achievements of German scholars in the area, and help facilitate continued English and German language discourses on the Roman era.
