From the Back Cover

A COMPANION TO THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE

An expansive exploration of archaeological evidence from across the Roman Empire between the first century BCE and the fourth century CE

In A Companion to the Archaeology of the Roman Empire, distinguished scholar and archaeologist Professor Barbara Burrell delivers an illuminating and wide-ranging discussion of peoples, institutions, and their material remains across the Roman Empire.

Divided into two parts, the book begins by focusing on the "unifying factors," institutions and processes that affected the entire empire. This ends with a chapter by Professor Greg Woolf, Ronald J. Mellor Professor of Ancient History at UCLA, which summarizes and enlarges upon the themes and contributions of the volume. Meanwhile, the second part brings out local patterns and peculiarities within the archaeological remains of the City of Rome as well as almost every province of its empire.

Each chapter is written by a noted scholar whose career has focused on the subject. In addition, the book is amply illustrated and includes new and little-known finds from oft-ignored provinces. The Companion features a thorough introduction to the peoples and operations of the Roman Empire, including not just how the center affected the periphery ("Romanization") but how peripheral provinces operated on their own and among their neighbors. Readers will benefit from comprehensive explorations of local patterns within individual provinces, and a unique form of organization that brings out systems across the empire, such as transport across sea, rivers and roads; monetary systems; pottery and foodways; the military; construction and technology.

Perfect for graduate and advanced undergraduate students of archaeology and the history of the Roman Empire, A Companion to the Archaeology of the Roman Empire will also earn a place in the libraries of professional archaeologists in other fields, including Mayanists, medievalists, and Far Eastern scholars seeking comparanda and bibliography on other imperial structures.

Barbara Burrell is a Roman archeologist and numismatist and Associate Professor at the University of Cincinnati Department of Classics. Her professional focus is on Roman imperial architecture, art, and history, with a subspecialty in ancient coinage.
