Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Detailed consideration of a common legionary fortress building. They are defined for the purposes of this paper as those other than Republican and post-Diocletian/Constantinian fortresses, and primi ordines of the Flavian period, due to the differences in organisation and social composition of the army at those times. Data from across Europe are considered. An introduction to centurions' social background and standing is followed by general description of the buildings' size and position within the fortress. Use-areas and conditions are analysed via information on common features, internal structures and the distribution of find types. There is an historical overview showing their development and place within the broader Roman building tradition. Physical evidence considered includes: wall drainage outlets; drains within walls; water containers; heated tile and hydraulic concrete floors; other floor types; heating; wall-paintings; lighting; widened corridors creating an atrium effect; and external and internal doors used as general indicators of internal organisation and use of space. Resulting from this, three basic types are isolated: the corridor type; suite type; and mixed type. Artefact distribution is also used to define use-areas. There follow `Appendix I: glossary' (142), `Appendix II: quantifying living standards' (142--3) and a third appendix presenting many of the basic data references in tabulated form. | |||||||||||||
