Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The author argues that although the city of Rome was the most important consumer of subsistence surpluses from lands bordering the Mediterranean, Roman expansion into temperate Europe depended on the supply of strategic commodities. Flows of goods northwards can be identified in the archaeological record and their importance can be gauged by the way in which pre-existing and long-standing trade routes were over-ridden by them. Use of such subsistence resources on the frontier overcame the problems of gathering food in a land-locked environment and of regional shortages, allowed the army to concentrate on military affairs and released it from the necessity of over-exploiting frontier lands | ||||||
