The legacy of Rome is still very much with us in Europe. It forms
part of our cultural backdrop, and is enshrined in the European
mind, whether through classical literature, education and
jurisprudence, or spectacular ruins. In Rome and Its Empire, first
published in 1989, Stephen Johnson examines our understanding of
the archaeological aspects of Roman civilisation, and traces the
development of archaeology from the earliest post-Roman times,
through to its real discovery in the eighteenth century, and its
burgeoning in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Various areas
of modern archaeological thought and practice are examined with
regard to the study of Roman archaeology. The emphasis is on how
archaeologists examine and classify material, and the various ways
in which valid historical conclusions are deduced from that
evidence. Johnson concludes by exploring how techniques from other
disciplines are now being applied to archaeological study, and
indicates what we may yet learn from this.
