| Abstract: |
This richly illustrated volume considers the rural economy of Roman Britain through the lenses of the principal occupations of agriculture and rural industries. For the first time, the faunal and archaeobotanical data have been drawn together alongside material culture, particularly the evidence of coins and pottery, as well as structural evidence, to provide a social context for rural production and consumption, and an understanding of how resources moved across the province to feed and support military and civil populations. Meeting the demands of the state remained a major driving force behind the rural economy throughout the Roman period. |
