Frontiers of the Roman Empire: A Social and Economic Study Paperback - 1997
by C. R. Whittaker
Although one of the longest lasting in history, the ancient Roman empire had no fixed boundaries. However, Roman armies clearly reached certain points--which today we call frontiers--where they simply stopped advancing and annexing new territories. C.R. Whittaker examines the Roman frontiers both in terms of what they meant to the Romans and in the context of their military, economic, and social function. 55 illustrations.
First line
One of the most romantic descriptions of Hadrian's Wall in the English language was written by Rudyard Kipling in 1904 in what was intended as a children's book, Puck of Pook's Hill, when he imagined what it was like for a Roman soldier arriving at the frontier.
