Description

Book Synopsis
Yet the very permeability of the frontiers, Whittaker contends, permitted a transformation of Roman society, breathing new life into the empire rather than causing its complete extinction.

Trade Review
Whittaker has made the first systematic attempt to integrate the study of the Roman frontiers and imperial policy with that of the frontier economy and society. All those interested in Roman frontier studies and imperialism will be grateful for a book which discusses old questions along new lines and which raises new questions of general importance.
