During excavations in the cemetery of the town of Noviomagus in Nijmegen-west archaeologists of the Radboud University of Nijmegen discovered the remains of a series of monumental burial complexes comprising walled enclosures and funerary monuments, and associated rich burials dating from the end of the 1st century AD. The aim of this publication is to establish whether these burials show influences from the Roman world and have cultural and religious connections with the Mediterranean, or whether they reflect indigenous traditions. Closely linked to this are questions concerning the status and ethnic background of the buried persons, for which the burial ritual, funerary customs and grave goods may provide clues. The high economic and social status of this group and its cultural and political alliance with Rome and the imperial family are evident from the monumental burial complexes and certain grave goods.

The Roman period witnessed massive changes in the human-material environment, from monumentalised cityscapes to standardised low-value artefacts like pottery. This book explores new perspectives to understand this Roman ‘object boom’ and its impact on Roman history. In particular, the book’s international contributors question the traditional dominance of ‘representation’ in Roman archaeology, whereby objects have come to stand for social phenomena such as status, facets of group identity, or notions like Romanisation and economic growth. Drawing upon the recent material turn in anthropology and related disciplines, the essays in this volume examine what it means to materialise Roman history, focusing on the question of what objects do in history, rather than what they represent. In challenging the dominance of representation, and exploring themes such as the impact of standardisation and the role of material agency, Materialising Roman History is essential reading for anyone studying material culture from the Roman world (and beyond).

In this book, Ellen Swift uses design theory, previously neglected in Roman archaeology, to investigate Roman artefacts in a new way, making a significant contribution to both Roman social history, and our understanding of the relationships that exist between artefacts and people. Based on extensive data collection and the close study of artefacts from museum collections and archives, the book examines the relationship between artefacts, everyday behaviour, and experience. The concept of 'affordances'-features of an artefact that make possible, and incline users towards, particular uses for functional artefacts-is an important one for the approach taken. This concept is carefully evaluated by considering affordances in relation to other sources of evidence, such as use-wear, archaeological context, the end-products resulting from artefact use, and experimental reconstruction. Artefact types explored in the case studies include locks and keys, pens, shears, glass vessels, dice, boxes, and finger-rings, using material mainly drawn from the north-western Roman provinces, with some material also from Roman Egypt. The book then considers how we can use artefacts to understand particular aspects of Roman behaviour and experience, including discrepant experiences according to factors such as age, social position, and left- or right-handedness, which are fostered through artefact design. The relationship between production and users of artefacts is also explored, investigating what particular production methods make possible in terms of user experience, and also examining production constraints that have unintended consequences for users. The book examines topics such as the perceived agency of objects, differences in social practice across the provinces, cultural change and development in daily practice, and the persistence of tradition and social convention. It shows that design intentions, everyday habits of use, and the constraints of production processes each contribute to the reproduction and transformation of material culture.

Im 1. und 2. Jahrhundert n. Chr. vollzog sich eine rasante gesellschaftliche und administrative Entwicklung im niedergermanischen Rheindelta: Die Region zwischen Schelde, Maas und Rhein wurde, wie Tacitus gegen Ende des 1. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. in seiner Germania schreibt, Teil des Imperium Romanum. Spezifische Bindungs- und Beziehungsstrukturen prägten nicht nur das Verhältnis zwischen den hier siedelnden Batavern, Canninefaten, Frisiavonen, Marsakern und Friesen, sondern auch deren Kontakte zu Rom bzw. römischen Akteuren. Durch die Auswertung literarischer, archäologischer und epigraphischer Quellen wird dieses komplexe Spannungsgefüge beleuchtet. Dabei werden die vielfältigen Entwicklungslinien im politischen, urbanen, ruralen und kultischen Kontext aufgezeigt. Deutlich wird, dass die vereinfachte und plakative Umschreibung „Freund oder Feind“ die Vielfältigkeit der Bindungs- und Beziehungsstrukturen im niedergermanischen Rheindelta nicht ansatzweise erfasst.

Il vasellame in bronzo di età romana è da sempre oggetto di studio sia per il valore intrinseco del metallo, sopravvissuto al riutilizzo nel corso del tempo, sia per la finezza esecutiva che spesso caratterizza i pezzi. All’interno di questa classe, un nucleo consistente di recipienti si contraddistingue grazie al tipo di decorazione eccezionale che presenta, realizzata attraverso una difficile tecnica che prevede l’impiego di polvere in vetro colorata. La precisa modellazione dei motivi decorativi sui supporti, la cura nell’applicazione della mistura di vetro e acqua e l’attenta cottura hanno consentito di creare oggetti dalla superficie in smalto policromo, spesso pezzi unici dal punto di vista morfologico e decorativo. Molti sono ancora gli interrogativi aperti, non solo in relazione all’ambito produttivo, ma anche per quanto concerne il valore e l’utilizzo di simili pezzi nella vita quotidiana: l’analisi delle forme e delle decorazioni, la ricostruzione dei contesti e lo studio dei recipienti di questo tipo hanno permesso di formulare proposte rispetto a tipologia, cronologia e funzionalità di questa straordinaria ed elegante classe di materiali.
