Help with research - zkruspe26 - 11-23-2006
Hiya everyone! I was wondering if I could ask for some help from you Roman History experts! I just started a degree in ancient history and archaeology and tomorrow I have a seminar where I have to do some research on the archaeology of the Roman Army but everything I have found is either wayyy complicated because this is my first time studying it or is no good. Do you recommend any websites which give a general overview of the archaeology of the roman army? I'd be so greatful for any help!

Hello Gemma,
I would highly recommend having a look at the Vindolanda website.
http://www.vindolanda.com/
It has ongoing reports of digs and finds.
Vindolanda tablets are also THE greatest ever source of everyday Roman military life.

Hi Gemma
(Is it for HS2102?).
The image resource on this web-site will be very useful, and compare the private scuptures there with the sculptures from Trajan's Column.
There's a useful basic outline of the military finds from Britain in G de la Bedoyere's The Finds of Roman Britain.
Good luck!
