By integrating archaeological evidence with historical analysis and new digital methods (i.e. linear regression), this book provides a nuanced understanding of the entangled relationships and cultural exchanges that shaped life on the margins of the Roman world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore specifically, there are presentations on newly uncovered and previously unpublished archaeological evidence from several significant sites: Da'janiya in Jordan on the Limes Arabicus, Cetace-Radujevac in Serbia on the Upper Moesian frontiers, Volubilis in Morocco on the Limes Africanus and Artaxata (the ancient capital of Armenia). And a variety of topics are covered such as the technological aspects of fortifications; the trade of luxury goods; consumption and dietary patterns; the distribution and cultural significance of wine; and the processes of religious hybridisation and change. The aim of this volume is to emphasize the practical aspects of military life and to explore the cultural interactions between the soldiers and local populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePaulina Komar\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Warsaw, Poland.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 May 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350580633\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e272\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53973898887308,"sku":"9781350580633","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350580633","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
