Recensies en Artikelen
“Border Communities delivers an interesting insight into the formation of communities during Roman times. The book is a useful and valuable English-language contribution to the complex subject of regional diversity and identity in the Roman empire.”

Border Communities at the Edge of the Roman Empire
Processes of Change in the Civitas Cananefatium
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
In Roman times, the area between the Lower Rhine and the Meuse in the present day province of South Holland in the Netherlands, was known as the administrative district of the community of the Cananefates (the civitas Cananefatium). 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.
