1. Roman Archaeology for Historians

3. http://graeworks.net/roman-occupations/

4.  Francis J Haverfield
 The Romanization of Roman Britain (1905)
 Ancient Town Planning (1913)
 The Roman Occupation of Britain (1924)

5. Of course, this particular photo
was taken by Gertrude Bell,
who is famous for her work on
the early Christian and Islamic
sites along the Euphrates, and
so not at all a good illustration
for the point I’m making.
However, this is a Roman
milestone marker in Arabia.

7.  Roman archaeology has always
been tied to power in the
present

8.  So Roman Archaeology for Historians is not
going to be just about the material culture of
the Romans, but will also consider
 the ways in which we know about them now,
 how we have imagined them,
 and the role Roman archaeology will play in the
future.
 Yep: historiography of Roman archaeology.
