Description

Explore the cultural history of the Rhine delta through this detailed study of Roman weaponry and horse gear. This volume examines how military objects were used in non-military settings within the territory of the Batavians from 50 BC to AD 450. By applying a life-cycle model for Roman soldiers, the research explains why large quantities of 1st-century finds appear in civilian contexts. The author proposes that these items served as personal memorabilia, brought home by former soldiers to represent their veteran status after 25 years of service. This academic work provides a deep look at how military identity transitioned into civilian life. It is supported by a comprehensive inventory of militaria recovered from urban centers, rural settlements, cult sites, rivers, and graves. For historians and archaeologists, this book offers a new perspective on the relationship between Roman military service and local Batavian society. The inclusion of 96 plates makes this an essential resource for understanding the physical remains of the Roman era in the eastern Rhine delta.
