Description

This scholarly study examines Roman weaponry and horse gear discovered in non-military contexts across the eastern Rhine delta, home territory of the Batavians. The author employs a life-cycle model for Roman soldiers to interpret the substantial quantity of 1st-century finds as personal memorabilia-objects brought home by ex-soldiers after 25 years of service, marking their transition to veteran status and serving as tangible reminders of their military careers. The research is grounded in an extensive inventory of militaria recovered from diverse archaeological contexts including urban centres, rural settlements, cult places, rivers and graves. The work features 96 plates documenting these artefacts, providing both detailed analysis and visual evidence for understanding how Roman soldiers integrated their military identity into civilian life within the Batavian region.
