Romanization of Britain

An Essay in Archaeological Interpretation

The Romanization of Britain was greeted, on first publication, as an innovative study of cultural change and interaction, offering a bold new perspective on Roman Britain based on archaeological evidence. It set out to explore the social dynamics of cultural change from a local perspective by looking at the patterns of interaction between provincial peoples and imperial power. Drawing together a wide range of excavated data as well as textual evidence, it provided a new synthesis of the province whilst offering an alternative way of understanding cultural change in the Roman Empire more widely. Its publication served to catalyse debate, stimulating very considerable discussion and generating a wide variety of responses in a range of publications. This revised edition adds a new introductory essay exploring the genesis of this classic work and reviewing the subsequent debate, while also recalibrating the author's perspective on cultural change within the wider Roman provinces.

Anmeldelser

«'It should be clear that this is one of the most important and original books to be published on Roman Britain for many years, and one which all researchers into and students of Roman Britain will find themselves referring to again and again.' Greg Woolf, Ronald J. Mellor Professor of Ancient History, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)»

«'This is a thought-provoking book on the question of the relationship between Roman and native and the process of cultural change; Millett has set us an agenda for future research in a subject area where there is still a huge harvest to reap.' Michael Fulford, Professor of Archaeology, University of Reading»

«'This is a thoughtful and absorbing monograph which deserves the widest readership and discussion. It is brimful of ideas and insights, underpinned by an impressive series of tables, which collect together a vast array of data. Fundamental to the approach is an emphasis on theoretical and statistical considerations, coupled with a close awareness of the work of some contemporary ancient historians.' Timothy W. Potter, Former Keeper of Prehistory and Early Europe at the British Museum»
