Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the provisioning of the Roman army, this collection of ten papers examines the supply networks essential for military success. It questions whether the army relied on imperial supply lines or local agricultural communities, and the sustainability of these resources. The studies cover various regions, including Roman Britain and France, analyzing evidence from animal products and military settlements. Additionally, the editors highlight current research and propose future directions for economic and environmental studies related to Roman military logistics and community interactions.
