Description

Dr Rob Collins and the curators of the remarkable collections from Hadrian's Wall present a striking new contribution to understanding the archaeology of a Roman frontier. Dr Rob Collins and the curators of the remarkable collections from Hadrian's Wall present a striking new contribution to understanding the archaeology of a Roman frontier. This highly illustrated volume showcases the artifacts recovered from archaeological investigations along Hadrian's Wall in order to examine the daily lives of those living along the Northern Frontier of the Roman Empire. Presented by theme, no other book offers such a diverse and thorough range of the rich material culture of the Wall. The accompanying text provides an ethnographic perspective, guiding us through the everyday lives of the people of frontier communities, from the Commanding Officer to the local farmer. This holistic view allows us an insight into the homes and communities, how people dressed, what they ate and drank, their religions and beliefs, domestic and military forms of security, and how they conducted their business and pleasure.

  • Interesting
An interesting premise - step into the shoes of the people living on the "Roman Frontier" along Hadrian's Wall in ancient Britain via an examination of the objects that have been found/excavated there over the centuries - although it ended up being more of a look at the life of the objects themselves rather than a real exploration of life at Hadrian's Wall. I wanted more details about the people (how did the native Britons and the Roman army think of each other? What was daily life like for a soldier vs. a peasant? How did the Roman soldiers handle an environment so different from their home?) and even about the wall itself (did it serve its intended purpose? What did it look like in its heyday vs. the ruins we can see now? How was life different at the forts along the wall versus in the emptier stretches? What did people on either side think of the wall as it was being built, and after?). Regardless, the examination of the archaeological finds was fascinating, and it was thought-provoking to read the theories about each object and be able to look at the photos up-close. ... show more
