With its succinct analysis of the overriding issues and detailed
case-studies based on the latest archaeological research, this
social and economic study of Roman Imperial frontiers is essential
reading. Too often the frontier has been represented as a simple
linear boundary. The reality, argues Dr Elton, was rather a fuzzy
set of interlocking zones - political, military, judicial and
financial. After discussion of frontier theory and types of
frontier, the author analyses the acquisition of an empire and the
ways in which it was ruled. He addresses the vexed question of how
to define the edges of provinces, and covers the relationship with
allied kingdoms. Regional variation and different rates of change
are seen as significant - as is illustrated by Civilis' revolt on
the Rhine in AD 69. He uses another case-study - Dura-Europos - to
exemplify the role of the army on the frontier, especially its
relations with the population on both sides of the border. The
central importance of trade is highlighted by special consideration
of Palmyra.
