Abstract:

At the time of the Roman conquest, the Damnonii probably consisted of a decentralised grouping of tribesmen. Some form of hierarchical society is indicated, based on land and stock; agriculture may have been able to meet the needs of the invading and standing army. The few first-century Roman finds on native sites suggest a policy of controlling the Damnonii by rewarding a few leaders with Roman patronage. Contacts were wider in the second century. The degree of Romanisation was not insignificant for a frontier zone and may have gained momentum after the departure of the army; perhaps its clearest expression was the emergence of the Romano-British church in south-west Scotland. A catalogue of Roman and Romano-British finds from native sites is on microfiche.
