Abstract
Pots and pits: drinking and deposition in Late Iron Age south-eas...
Martin Pitts
143 - 161
The paper considers the role of pottery in the Late Iron Age to Roman transition in south-east Britain. Concern with the significance of Continental imports is rejected in favour of an approach giving equal emphasis to locally made forms and imports in complete assemblages. Several stages of inter-site correspondence analysis are conducted on a range of sites and assemblages in the region. The author argues that patterning pertaining to the use of deposition of both imported and local pottery vessels contradicts models for `Romanization before conquest'. The main conclusions include evidence for the selective disposal of drinking vessels and table wares in pits, the likely widespread consumption of beer as opposed to wine, and the implied importance of indigenous social practices such as feasting and communal drinking.
The Roman denarius under the Julio-Claudian emperors: mints, metallurgy and technology
Kevin Butcher
Matthew James Ponting
163 - 197
The results of the chemical analysis of seventy-eight silver denarii issued by the Julio-Claudian emperors, the majority from hoards found in Britain, are presented and interpreted against the available numismatic, archaeological and historical information. The authors state that earlier surface analyses were found to be incorrect, especially for the coinage of Nero, and the reasons for this are investigated. The new elemental data are augmented by a subset of coins being subjected to lead isotope analysis and the results of this are found to complement these data in unexpected ways.
Forum Germanorum in north-west Italy: the home community and life of arguably the earlie...
Eberhard Sauer
199 - 214
Excavations at Alchester in Oxfordshire in 2003 yielded the remains of a Roman inscription, smashed into fragments and reused in the foundations of the town wall. It proved to be a tombstone of a veteran of the Second Augustan Legion and it is argued that Alchester was probably the main base of this legion. The emphasis of the paper is on the home community of the veteran, Forum Germanorum in north-west Italy, for which the inscription provides the earliest testimony, as well as on the ex-soldier's career. The precise dating of the monument suggests that the deceased was the earliest known legionary veteran to settle in Britain.
