‎Propylaia to the Athenian Akropolis II: The Classical Building‎

‎Princeton, The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA), 2004 486 pp, 211 illus, 9 b/w pls, 10 tables, 9 foldout plans and drawings 10" x 13". ISBN 9780876619414.‎

‎This publication presents the results of research conducted on the Propylaia of the Athenian Akropolis by William Bell Dinsmoor, who began his study in 1908, and William Bell Dinsmoor Jr., who took up the project in 1962. Part I comprises William Dinsmoor?s account of Mnesikles' planning of this innovative and unique structure during construction, and will be of particular interest to theorists and historians of architecture. Part II, a product of the collaboration of father and son, presents the first complete documentation of the Classical building. Supported by drawings primarily by William Dinsmoor Jr., it includes much information that is no longer accessible on the site because of restoration, weathering, or loss by other means, along with scholarly proof and detailed argumentation that support the Dinsmoors' conclusions regarding design and construction.‎

‎Denarii Beyond the Empire Political and Cultural Perspectives on Roman Silver Coins in Barbaricum‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 191 p. Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:24 b/w, 36 col., 24 tables b/w. Language(s):English. new. ISBN 9782503619149.‎

‎Summary This volume explores the remarkable history of the Roman denarius, a coin that dominated the ancient world for over four centuries, as seen from outside the frontiers of the Empire ? from Scotland to India, and from Ukraine to Sweden. Introduced in the Roman Republic around 211 BCE, the denarius retained its form and function well into the third century CE, even as its silver content declined. While its official use then faded within the Empire, the coin continued to circulate and thrive in barbaricum, outside the Roman limes. Drawing on archaeological discoveries and numismatic analysis, the book examines how the denarius migrated beyond the Roman frontier, influenced local economies, and became embedded in cultural memory. A central focus is the coin?s enduring presence in Northern and Eastern Europe, where thousands have been found. This volume offers fresh perspectives on Roman monetary history and relations across the frontier, showcasing the power of denarii to migrate, to influence, and to transform.

‎Portraying the Individual in the Roman East Local Imperial Entanglements in Sculpture, Mosaics, and Paintings (1st?4th Centuries AD)‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2026 Hardback, Pages: xxii + 345 p. Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:81 b/w, 282 col., 1 tables b/w. Language(s):English. new. ISBN 9782503622750.‎

‎Summary While the statues and busts of Rome have long captivated scholarly attention, the extraordinary diversity of portraits produced across the empire's so-called peripheries has remained underexplored. As new discoveries and research projects, such as the Palmyra Portrait Project, expand our understanding of provincial visual culture, fresh questions emerge about the nature, function, and interpretation of Roman period portraiture. This volume revisits portraiture by looking beyond the Roman empire?s core to its vibrant borderlands, revealing how traditions of representing the individual varied dramatically across cities, regions, and time. The contributions gathered here examine both adherence to, and departures from, mainstream portrait conventions, highlighting the creative negotiations between local identities and imperial visual norms, engaging with a wide range of media ? sculpture, mosaics, and paintings ? and addressing issues such as workshop practices and the circulation of resources. Case studies explore reworking and reuse, the reconstruction of display contexts, and the development of regional visual languages over time. In shifting the lens from centre to regional situations, this volume reveals portraits as powerful expressions of identities and cultural entanglement across the ancient Mediterranean and West Asia.

‎LETTRES DE M. CHAMPOLLION LE JEUNE, écrites pendant son voyage en Égypte, en 1828 et 1829.‎

‎ÉDITION ORIGINALE RARISSIME de cet ouvrage qui publie pour la première fois les VINGT PREMIÈRES LETTRES écrites par Jean-François CHAMPOLLION (1790-1832) durant la mission scientifique qu'il mena de 1828 à 1830 en Égypte, avec son collaborateur et ami Ippolito Rosellini. Une édition de ces "Lettres", posthume, paraîtra en 1833 chez le même éditeur : elle contient 31 lettres, mais les lettres XXV à XXXI, qui concernent le voyage du retour de Toulon à Bordeaux, sont d'un intérêt moindre. Dans la préface de l'édition de 1833, l'éditeur écrit : «Les dix-neuf premières "Lettres" écrites d'Égypte ont été imprimées en tout ou par fragments dans divers recueils littéraires, et dans le "Moniteur" ; quelques exemplaires d'épreuves tirées à part ont été conservés par des mains bienveillantes : on reproduit ici ces mêmes lettres avec quelques corrections dans les noms propres ; la vingtième lettre et les suivantes n'avaient pas encore été publiées. » Il s'agit donc ici de l'un de ces RARES EXEMPLAIRES «tirés à part » : à noter que contrairement à ce qu'affirme l'éditeur, la vingtième lettre, écrite de Thèbes, palais de Kourna, le 6 juillet 1829, est en partie reproduite dans notre exemplaire. Une note liminaire du "Moniteur" du 11 août 1828 occupe les deux premières pages. On a RELIÉ À LA SUITE un extrait de la Revue Française (n°XII), rédigé par Charles Lenormant et intitulé "Esquisse de la Basse-Nubie" (24 pages). Charles LENORMANT (1802-1859), archéologue, égyptologue et numismate français, accompagna Champollion durant son voyage en Égypte.

The first nine volumes, an English translation of Maspero's Histoire ancienne des peuples de l'Orient classique, trace the history of ancient Egypt and the Near East from their earliest origins to the Ptolemaic period. Volumes 10 to 12 continue the narrative through the Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab and Ottoman periods into the nineteenth century, while the thirteenth volume incorporates the latest archaeological discoveries in Egypt and Mesopotamia, including important new evidence relating to prehistoric Egypt, Proto-Elam and early Babylonia. With more than 1,200 illustrations, plates and maps, this handsome set remains one of the finest general surveys of the civilizations of the ancient Near East ever published.

Het is alsof we de middeleeuwen kunnen laten verrijzen uit het verleden. Het Yper Museum verzamelde een aantal historici en archeologen die boeiend schrijven over hoe recente archeologische opgravingen de geschiedenis weer tot leven brengen. Over opmerkelijke grafvondsten, de geheimen die botten ons ontsluieren, hoe we woonden in middeleeuws Vlaanderen, wat de genetica van skeletten ons kan vertellen, hoe lepra ons streken trof?‎

‎Life and Death. It's a theme that touches us all. In Antwerp's MAS it takes up two of the five floors on which the permanent exhibition is displayed and it starts from the great existential questions that have been asked in every age and every culture: Where do we come from? Where are we going to? What happens after we die?Life and Death. On Gods and Men, on the seventh floor, introduces us to the huge variety of interpretations and the deep need for rituals that are found wherever man has made his home. The objects on display, which are part of the MAS's permanent collection, come mainly from ancient Egypt, sub-Saharan Africa, Melanesia, India, Tibet, Turkey - and Antwerp. They illustrate the way people in diverse cultures look at life and death. Is a body buried or cremated? Is there an afterlife, or simply nothing? Is death followed by rebirth? What role do gods, ancestors and spirits play? How should we sacrifice, pray or meditate? Works of art and ritual objects transform the intangible and indescribable into something that can be touched and understood. There are similarities and differences, but death is nearly always associated with new life.Life and Death. On the Upper and Underworld. With the Paul and Dora Janssen-Arts Collection on the eighth floor shows objects from Central and South America and is the subject of another book in this series.‎

‎The Palmyrene Banqueting Tesserae. An Updated Corpus‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: viii + 211, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:1217 b/w, 316 col., 1 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503609584.‎

‎Summary Banqueting tesserae - small, moulded terracotta tokens - were used in the religious sphere of Palmyra in the first three centuries AD, conveying a vivid iconographic language that underpinned sacral banquets held in the city's sanctuaries and banqueting halls. Found today in those locations, these artefacts offer a rare glimpse into the overwhelmingly rich ritual and social lives of Palmyrene society. This book and corpus provides the first comprehensive revision to the study of banqueting tokens since the 1955 publication Recueil des tess res de Palmyre, which catalogued 1132 types. Building on that foundational work, this publication updates the original corpus with 168 newly identified tesserae types, including numerous previously unpublished examples from the Palmyra Museum and a private collection in Damascus. Each new type is presented with detailed descriptions of motifs and inscriptions. The book examines the rich iconographic and epigraphic landscape of tesserae, which feature depictions of priests, deities, animals, and symbolic imagery, while also casting light on some of the individuals who financed these feasts. With extensive indices on the iconography and epigraphy of the new types, as well as a translation of the indices from the Recueil des tess res de Palmyre, this new corpus presents a comprehensive overview and systematic study of this overlooked yet revealing class of material culture, which provides a unique source for our understanding of Palmyrene religious life.

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 124, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:18 b/w, 58 col., 3 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503623559.‎

‎Summary This volume redefines our understanding of Sudan's Meroitic state, one of northeast Africa's most intriguing ancient civilizations. Motivated by the need to challenge dominant paradigms, it shifts the focus from elite narratives and urban centres to the often-overlooked rural perspectives that shaped the state's development and collapse. Drawing on years of archaeological fieldwork, the book examines sociopolitical dynamics on the western frontier, where local communities retained cultural autonomy and limited engagement with Meroitic institutions. The absence of temples, burials, and ritual items in these areas signals weak integration, while control of neglected trade routes during northern economic decline fostered local wealth and power. Similar patterns in the eastern hinterland underscore the fragmented nature of the state. This disengagement proved critical, as failure to unite against the Aksumite threat contributed to Meroe's demise. Combining data-driven studies with interdisciplinary approaches, this groundbreaking work, written from an African perspective, offers fresh insights into rural agency, economic networks, and the complex interplay of power within the Meroitic world.

‎, Brepols - The American Numismatic Society, 2026 Hardback, Pages: xii + 144, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:236 col., Language: English. ISBN 9780897227537.‎

‎Summary Professor James M. Collier was an ardent lover of the history and culture of Europe and the ancient world, and a passionate collector of ancient Greek and Roman coins. Born in 1943 in Bellingham, Washington, he pursued his early academic training at Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) in Tacoma, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in History in 1965. After graduating from PLU, he worked for the Boeing Corporation as an engineer. When he was seconded to Washington, DC, on the Minuteman project, his office was located-quite fortuitously, as it turned out-across from the National Gallery of Art. For two years he spent every lunch hour at the Gallery, where he discovered his real love for art and art history. Returning to the Pacific Northwest, he attended the University of Oregon and graduated with a Master of Arts in Art History in 1970. He then pursued a PhD in Art History at the University of Michigan, completing the degree in 1975. He was appointed an Assistant Professor in the Art History Department at Auburn University (Auburn, Alabama), where he eventually was tenured and became department chair. Over the course of his academic career, he lectured widely and published on the Italian Renaissance and Early Netherlandish perspective-the subject of his doctoral dissertation, entitled "Linear Perspective in Flemish Painting and the Art of Petrus Christus and Dirk Bouts." Professor Collier was published as an artist as well. In 1987, he left his teaching post and devoted himself to his passion for painting, studying at the National Academy of Design in New York City. He and his wife, Carole Anne Menzi Collier, moved to Amsterdam in 1990 and eventually attained dual citizenship. He continued to pursue and share his love of art and ancient coinage for the rest of his life. The Collier Prize in Ancient Numismatics was first given by the American Numismatic Society (ANS) in 2022. Established by Carole Anne Menzi Collier in memory of her late husband, James M. Collier, the biennial award honors the best book, catalogue, or online digital work in the field of ancient numismatics (650 bc-ad 300). In 2025, the ancient Greek and Roman coins of the Collier Collection were sold at auction to fund the endowment; highlights from the collection are featured within. "Ancient numismatics . . . intersects art history, political history, economic history, and religious studies," writes ANS Executive Director Ute Wartenberg Kagan. "When done properly, it is a truly interdisciplinary field that benefits scholars willing to explore different disciplines." The Collier Prize rewards this important, often underappreciated work and encourages the scholars who undertake it. TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword, by Ute Wartenberg Kagan The James M.

‎Summary Debate has surrounded the south Levantine Middle Bronze Age (MBA) Courtyard Palace form since their first discovery in the early twentieth century. Traditional views of the MBA Courtyard Palace were seen through the lens of renewed urban life at the beginning of the MBA, and these monumental constructions were interpreted as central administrative and redistributive institutions. This volume challenges established narratives through a detailed re-analysis of key sites such as Tell el-?Ajjul, Megiddo, and Shechem, and an investigation of several new structures from sites such as Pella and Deir 'Alla. From this study, investigations reveal an absence of administrative and storage paraphernalia from within the structures, and instead an abundance of burials and other materials arguably to be associated with funerary rituals.

‎Harvesting the Margins of the Viking World. Decentralizing Economies in Late Iron Age Fennoscandia‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 246, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:32 b/w, 37 col., 9 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503620183.‎

‎Summary Viking Age research has long been shaped by an 'agricultural paradigm' - a framework that centres economic and social development in the fertile plains of southern and central Scandinavia. This dominant model has marginalized alternative subsistence strategies and rendered northern regions peripheral, both geographically and conceptually. This volume challenges that orthodoxy through a new focus on the economic and cultural significance of Late Iron Age Fennoscandia. Gathering fifteen chapters from established scholars in the field, this work explores how environmentally diverse and often-overlooked northern areas were not passive peripheries. Instead they were active arenas of innovation, connectivity, and identity formation. Contributors examine mixed economies and subsistence strategies, and the movement of people, materials, and ideas across forested outlands, coastal zones, and inland trade networks. From indigenous agency to interregional exchange, this volume decentres traditional narratives to offer a more nuanced and inclusive understanding of economic life in the Late Iron Age.

‎Summary The Baltic Sea has functioned as a connecting environment for trade, migration, and cultural exchange since prehistory, enabling long-distance trade from the shores of Scandinavia to the modern-day Baltic States, Kaliningrad, Poland, and Germany. Despite the sea's historical role as a conduit for long-distance interaction, however, the reception of archaeological research in this area remains shaped by twentieth-century political divisions that instead transformed it into a barrier. This book offers a snapshot of recent and ongoing research, case studies, and archaeological projects focused on cultural interaction across and along the Baltic Sea. Covering the Iron Age, Roman and Migration Periods, Viking Age, and the Middle Ages, the volume presents examples of archaeological data that illustrate social and economic processes, cultural exchange, and the complex web of intercultural and cross-cultural relations among the societies that border the Baltic. Through these contributions, which foreground both continuity and disruption, this volume contributes to a deeper understanding of the Baltic Sea as a historically rich and multifaceted cultural landscape.

‎Summary The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is an exceptional epigraphic site. A major restoration campaign (2013-2020) and the recent bibliography dedicated to the building allow us to question hundreds of inscriptions and graffiti which appear on the mosaics, paintings, and walls of this shrine built on the presumed birthplace of Christ. The site exhibits a graphic symphony-if not cacophony-in Latin, Greek, Arabic, Syriac, Armenian, Georgian, Slavic, and Rus scripts, made by pilgrims and travellers as well as the authorities and the different religious communities over the centuries. The goal of this book, which gathers epigraphists from different backgrounds, as well as historians, art historians, and restorers, is to approach those writings from a variety of perspectives. Which typologies of graphic acts are uncovered and can we escape from the labels 'graffiti' and 'inscriptions'? What purpose do they serve? With which materials and using which techniques where they created, and by whom? Where were they located in the complex of the Church, which includes the caves, the cloister, and the monastic buildings? This study explores the stratigraphy of the writings and offers several plans detailing their distribution, revealing a new chapter in the history of the building, in its use by pilgrims. It highlights the various actors in epigraphic communication and the interactions between these graphic acts in the different writings and languages. All these inscriptions and graffiti enable us to build a comprehensive picture of the rich heritage offered by this unique holy site.

‎Summary The exhibition catalogue for When Coinage Was Born - Treasures from the Zhuyuetang Collection (held at the Royal Spanish Mint from June 2025 through June 2026) showcases 148 coins illustrating the development of early coinage around the Mediterranean Sea. The many spectacular coins of the Zhuyuetang Collection provide a deep dive into the wonderful world of Archaic Greek numismatic imagery, so different from the aesthetic language of later Hellenistic and Roman coins, and a vivid tableau of monsters, gods, heroes, and animals. More than a mere assortment of metal objects, these coins tell stories from 2500 years ago about war and international conflict, natural disasters, communities, religion, wealth, and much more. Printed in full color with over 180 images and text masterfully researched and written by two of the leading scholars in Archaic Greek numismatics.

‎Inside Out: Gender and Ageing Agency in Urban and Non-urban Religious Spaces in Antiquity‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 373, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:88 b/w, 87 col., 11 tables b/w., Languages: English, Italian. ISBN 9782503617060.‎

‎Summary Religious spaces in Antiquity could be urban (located in a densely populated area), suburban (within a day's walk of the city), or even extra-urban (located far outside the city walls, and away from the hustle of densely populated areas). They also served very different purposes, with urban sanctuaries often serving local socio-political dynamics, while extra-urban spaces were often founded to allow meditation - or for the exercise of political control over a particular territory. But while the importance of different religious spaces has long been known, up to now, very little attention has been paid to the activities of women and children within these religious spaces. This volume aims to investigate the role that these actors played in Antiquity, both in urban and non-urban sanctuaries and in funerary contexts, in order to see how they fitted into this sacral environment, and in turn, how such sanctuaries were shaped by their presence. Different chapters within the volume explore key questions such as: can religious experiences shape urban landscapes? can urban space influence religious experiences and activities? and what role did women and children play in shaping and linking religious activities and spaces?

‎Summary Catastrophes in Context: Disaster and Response in the Roman and Early Byzantine World explores how people in the ancient world lived through, reacted to, and recovered after major crises. From earthquakes and eruptions to shortages, plagues, and sudden environmental shifts, the book shows disasters not as stand-alone events but as moments that changed communities in lasting ways. Drawing on a wide mix of evidence such as archaeological remains, texts, landscapes, and scientific data, it brings together engaging case studies that highlight real human experiences of fear, loss, recovery, and resilience. The contributors offer new ways to understand how ancient societies coped with catastrophic events, what resources they relied on, and how they adapted to new realities. Comprehensive, engaging, and wide-ranging, this volume presents the ancient world through the lens of challenge and response, showing how crises shaped everyday life and long-term history.

‎Pre-Christian Religions, Rituals, and Beliefs in Central and Northern Europe. Interdisciplinary Investigations‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 266, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:67 b/w, 43 col., 8 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503620237.‎

‎Summary Before Christianity came to the societies and communities of Central and Northern Europe between the sixth and thirteenth centuries, there were numerous different 'pagan' religions and beliefs. Little is known about some of these, particularly with regard to details such as ritual practices, human-animal relations, conversion, ideas of the afterlife, or the place of religion in the landscape, largely due to a lack of archaeological and historical evidence. To gain new information, it is essential to draw on sources and methodologies from different disciplines. This volume brings together a collection of case-studies that apply interdisciplinary approaches to various aspects of traditional religion. Together, they shine a new light on the multi-faceted variety of expressions of belief in Central and Northern Europe, from sacrifice and burial customs to sacred objects and iconography, and to the changes and continuations in the face of coming Christianity. Arranged in four categories - space and landscape, death and burial, objects and images, and people and violence - these twelve chapters by international researchers combine archaeological studies with the input of history and literature, cultural anthropology, history of religion, and archaeozoology, to offer a valuable resource to all those interested in pre-Christian religion, and in prehistoric and early medieval spiritual culture in Europe.

‎Summary The study of the villae of the Roman and Late Antique period is well established in western Europe, but, up to now, little has been done to explore this type of building in depth in the rest of the Empire, in particular in the Roman provinces of the Balkan peninsula and along the Danube. This volume, which draws on research presented at the first international workshop organized by the HAEMUS International Research Network (Villeneuve d'Ascq, France, 10-12 Novembre 2021), aims to redress the balance by drawing together papers focused on Roman villae both at an Empire-wide level, and more specifically, within South-Eastern Europe. Through thematic syntheses and case studies, the volume is able both to shed new light on the villae of in the central part of the Later Roman Empire, as well as to highlight new discoveries made in recent decades.

‎Ceramics in Plain Sight: The Bacini of the Churches of Crete. "Reflections" of the Late Medieval and the Early Modern Material Culture of the Island. Volume II: The Regional Unit of Lasithi‎

‎, Brepols - Athens, 2026 Paperback, Pages: 344, Size:210 x 280 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9789603711063.‎

‎Summary This publication, the second volume of a broader project, presents the immured glazed vessels (the bacini) located on the fa ades of numerous churches in the regional unit of Lasithi. The research was carried out within the framework of the research programme "Immured vessels in Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches in Greece: an electronic corpus". The study of these ceramics sheds light on an understudied aspect of the material culture of Lasithi during the Venetian and Ottoman periods, as well as in modern times. Since publications on ceramics from this region and chronological span are scarce, the present study provides new insights into the history of the area and its connections with other regions from the 13th to the 21st century. The ceramics are examined in relation to their respective monuments, the surrounding area, and the people of eastern Crete. Alongside detailed archaeological documentation, the study discusses aspects of ceramic diffusion and the practice of immuration. The text is enriched with a comprehensive catalogue, maps, sketches, drawings, and numerous colour photographs. Through the systematic study and the full presentation of the material from Lasithi, this study brings to the fore the particularities of local practice: its earliest attestations in the thirteenth century and its notable revival in the nineteenth century.

‎Summary Tell Atchana, ancient Alalakh, lies in the Amuq Valley in modern Hatay, southern T rkiye. Long thought to have been abandoned by the end of the Late Bronze Age, recent excavations reveal partial Iron Age occupation, prompting a reassessment of the site's chronology. This book discusses the Iron Age occupation on the site, presenting detailed stratigraphic data and a morphological analysis of the pottery assemblage from the excavated square to establish a relative chronological framework. It also examines the assemblage functionally to identify changes or continuities in habits and actions across the Late Bronze to Iron Age transition and within the Iron Age itself. Through this approach, the study sheds new light on the nature and dynamics of Iron Age I occupation at Tell Atchana.

‎Summary While the pagan deities of the Old Norse world have long fascinated scholars, it has mainly been the male gods who have captured public attention, and scholars have followed this trend, interpreting late Iron Age Scandinavian society from a male perspective. This volume aims to adjust the balance by bringing together leading scholars working on the Old Norse world and its mythology. The chapters gathered here cover a range of academic fields, from literature and history of religion to folklore, onomastics, and archaeology, with the aim of reassessing the roles played by both women and goddesses in Iron Age Scandinavia.

‎Summary This book inaugurates a planned series focusing on Toro Muerto, the largest rock art site in South America. Located in Peru's Arequipa region, Toro Muerto covers approximately 50 km , with the densest concentration of nearly 2500 volcanic boulders engraved with petroglyphs contained within its central 10 km . Known since the 1950s, the site was nevertheless only partially recorded, and earlier documentation was often incomplete or inaccurate. Since 2015, a team of Polish researchers from the University of Warsaw, working in collaboration with Peruvian specialists, has undertaken a systematic programme of documentation; the results are presented here for the first time. Lavishly illustrated and published in both English and Spanish, this volume functions as both a catalogue and a typology of Toro Muerto's geometric, zoomorphic, and anthropomorphic motifs. It presents the first high-resolution digital record of the site, featuring nearly 50 motif types, almost 700 photographs, and 5500 drawings. With an unprecedented level of detail, the book provides a solid foundation for future iconographic and archaeological research, offering new insights into the symbolic and ritual significance of one of the world's most impressive rock art complexes.

‎Summary This volume explores the military geography of the Roman province of Moesia Inferior during the first three centuries CE, shedding light on the strategic interplay between geography, culture, and military organization along the 'Limes', the Empire's frontier along the Lower Danube. Drawing on archaeological, historical, and environmental data, it examines how the activities of the Roman army, including settlement patterns, defensive architecture, and logistical networks, were influenced by terrain, resources, and pre-existing cultural dynamics. The analysis also sheds light on the logistical capabilities of the Roman army, the role played by the frontier garrisons, and the evolving strategy of Rome in capturing, securing, and developing the region. Central to the volume is a comprehensive site gazetteer that reveals how the clustering of settlements and fortifications was heavily dependent on the natural environment, and its impact on both economy and strategy with the region. By situating military geography within broader socio-political and environmental contexts, the book contributes to a deeper understanding of Roman frontier policy, provincial development, and the lived experience of imperial borderlands.

‎Summary From AD 63/64, when the Roman Empire annexed the kingdom known as Pontus Polemoniacus, up to c. 257 and the invasion of the Borans, the coast of Colchis, in modern-day Georgia, hosted a Roman garrison system that stretched along the south-eastern edge of the Black Sea. One such Roman fort, at the site of Apsaros (Gonio, Georgia) has been the subject of intensive interdisciplinary research, with a focus on exploring the site and its environs to shed new light on the history, chronology, and periodization of the Roman military presence. From the discovery of traces of the presence of four cohorts of the V Macedonian legion through to analysis of the ruins of the garrison commander's house, which was equipped with private baths and decorated with mosaics, this volume draws together ground-breaking new research to shed new light on Roman Colchis, the garrisons who lived here, and their complicated relations with local tribes.
