‎ROMAN REPUBLICAN CASTRAMETATION A Reappraisal of Historical and Archaeological Sources‎

‎British Archaeological Reports BAR International Series 630; 170 pages; Two main areas of inquiry: first is concerned with the major historical source pertaining to Republican castrametation, namely the description of a Roman army camp given by the Greek historian Polybius.

The body of evidence derives largely from excavations which have taken place in Spain.‎

‎CARAUSIUS A Consideration of the Historical, Archaeological and Numismatic Aspects of His Reign‎

‎British Archaeological Reports (B. A. R. ) British Series 378; 101 pages; This study relates the significant bronze coinage of the usurper Carausius, 286-93, to the archaeological and historical evidence from the period. Since the publication of Roman Imperial Coinage. Volume V(ii) in 1933, many new and significant coin types have appeared. Several important hoards have been published in the intervening years which throw a new light on discussions of the chronology of the coinage, enabling a modified sequence of issues to be postulated. Part of an important hoard discovered in the 1980Aes has been reconstituted. Much information regarding the archaeology of Roman Britain in the latter half of the third century has been published during the last three decades, and this is discussed in conjunction with the coin evidence of site finds. Consideration is made of the probable methods employed in the striking of the coinage, and a new mathematical method is invoked to yield a more accurate picture of the supply of coinage under the Carausian administration. A study of the metrology of the bronze coinage is made and this includes the illustration of the metrology with a three-dimensional surface using computer graphics. Consideration of the geographical distribution of the index-marked coinage has enabled a new interpretation of the location of the minting centres to be forwarded. The older historical sources have been reconsidered and important new interpretations have been made. Certain aspects of the coinage which relate to the history have been examined in the light of newly discovered coin types. The study involved the examination of approximately seven thousand specimens of the coinage from both public and private collections and excavations.‎

‎Minor bump to base of spine. Light creasing to wraps top of spine. ; British Archaeological Reports (B. A. R. ) British Series 332; 159 pages; Grainge's dissertation examines recent evidence from maritime archaeology, in the Mediterranean and off the coast of Britain, to reinterpret the events of AD 43. Grainge's principal aims are to identify Roman bridgeheads on the British coastline, to examine the technology available to the Romans for seafaring and to assess the value of Romano-Celtic vessels. The study also considers more recent invasions for clues as to where the Roman force landed.‎
