Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Changes in the material culture of the Late Roman army in Britain mean that it is often difficult to identify archaeologically. Some of these changes have in the past been taken as symptoms of decline, without attempt at further explanation. This paper aims to explore these changes and their deeper significance, within a theoretical framework which stresses the importance of the use of material culture in the expression of identities. Building from a detailed case study of fourth-century occupation at Caerleon, it will be suggested that categorising material as `civilian' or `military' obscures complex patterns of both uniformity and variation between different kinds of site. These have implications not only for our understanding of the army in fourth- and fifth-century Britain, but also for society in general at this time, as it is within this wider context that the army should be seen. `Appendix 1:Caerleon sites index' (418) concludes. | ||||
