In this book, Adam Rogers examines the late Roman phases of towns
in Britain. Critically analysing the archaeological notion of
decline, he focuses on public buildings, which played an important
role, administrative and symbolic, within urban complexes. Arguing
against the interpretation that many of these monumental civic
buildings were in decline or abandoned in the later Roman period,
he demonstrates that they remained purposeful spaces and important
centres of urban life. Through a detailed assessment of the
archaeology of late Roman towns, this book argues that the
archaeological framework of decline does not permit an adequate and
comprehensive understanding of the towns during this period. Moving
beyond the idea of decline, this book emphasises a longer-term
perspective for understanding the importance of towns in the later
Roman period.
