This open access book demonstrates the application of simulation
modelling and network analysis techniques in the field of Roman
studies. It summarizes and discusses the results of a 5-year
research project carried out by the editors that aimed to apply
spatial dynamical modelling to reconstruct and understand the
socio-economic development of the Dutch part of the Roman frontier
(limes) zone, in particular the agrarian economy and the related
development of settlement patterns and transport networks in the
area. The project papers are accompanied by invited chapters
presenting case studies and reflections from other parts of the
Roman Empire focusing on the themes of subsistence economy,
demography, transport and mobility, and socio-economic networks in
the Roman period. The book shows the added value of
state-of-the-art computer modelling techniques and bridges
computational and conventional approaches. Topics that will be of
particular interest to archaeologists are the question of (forced)
surplus production, the demographic and economic effects of the
Roman occupation on the local population, and the structuring of
transport networks and settlement patterns. For modellers, issues
of sensitivity analysis and validation of modelling results are
specifically addressed. This book will appeal to students and
researchers working in the computational humanities and social
sciences, in particular, archaeology and ancient history.
