Synopsis

This volume is intended as a Gedenkschrift to celebrate the work and legacy of Dr Brian Dobson. The papers are provided by members of the Hadrianic Society, which Brian was instrumental in setting up over 40 years ago, and represent a range of Roman scholarship by current and former university professors, museum and post-excavation professionals, field archaeologists and non-professionals. The range of papers is indicative of the range of interests held within the Hadrianic Society and those of Brian himself, but focus on the Roman army and Roman frontiers, particularly Hadrian's Wall.

About this title

Review:

'This work nicely captures the interests and enthusiasm of the Hadrianic Society, founded by Brian Dobson.' Dr Robert Collins, Newcastle University'Although a number of recent volumes of collected papers have recently been published on the Roman frontiers, this volume will make a significant contribution and also a worthy testament to the memory of Brian Dobson.' Prof. Richard Hingley, Durham University'As a group these papers make a substantial contribution to developing the study of Roman frontiers in particular as well as wider aspects of the Roman army and its culture in. For this reason alone the book stands as a significant contribution to scholarship and a worthy tribute to Brian Dobson's memory.' Peer reviewer
