Roman Frontier Archaeology – in Britain and beyond gathers
contributions by some 30 leading archaeologists and historians in
honour of Paul Bidwell. In a wide-ranging career Paul has been one
of the leading excavators and pottery specialists of his
generation, admired for his ground-breaking work both in the
south-west and the military north of Roman Britain. Contributions
reflect the wide range of Paul Bidwell’s interests. Studies of
samian pottery use, coins, carved stone pinecones, multi-piece bone
dice and agricultural strategies shed light on the economy and
everyday life of a Roman frontier province. For the civil southern
part of the province there are studies of place-names and various
aspects of the public baths of the Roman cities, as well as the
impact of changing sea-levels on coastal topography. A number of
contributions focus on the problems of the military north and
Hadrian’s Wall, including studies of the nineteenth century
antiquarian pioneers and assessments of the purpose of the Wall,
the possibility of destructive attacks by an enemy, the way in
which Roman forts were designed, and the use of Iron Age tradition
military gear by the Roman army. The papers also take us beyond
Britannia to consider developments on and beyond Rome’s Eastern,
Danube and North African frontiers. The collection will be
essential reading for anyone with an interest in either the civil
or military aspects of Roman Britain, or the frontiers of the Roman
empire. Paul Bidwell (1949-2022) Tragically Paul Bidwell died after
a short illness in November 2022 soon after being presented with
this book by his friends and colleagues. What was conceived as a
gesture to honour Paul has become, in effect, a monument to one of
the most respected Roman archaeologists of his generation, and a
testament to the wide range of his archaeological interests and
achievements.
