Camp villages; canabae and vici (literature)

[Titvs Statilivs Castvs]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking into literature about Roman camp settlements/villages (western half of the empire, 1st-3rd centuries). I don't seem to find any major publications or 'overviews' regarding the theme on itself, mostly studies about one particular location.

Are there any publications you think I should really know of?

Thanks in advance! Continuing my search in the meanwhile...

Edit: the one publication with the seemingly broadest scope I have traced so far is "The canabae and vici of Roman Britain" by D.J.P. Mason (University of Liverpool, 1984), but it looks like a Ph.D. dissertation and not quite easily available anywhere, as far as I can see.

C. Sebastian Sommer is your man: some of his publications are listed on www.academia.edu.

If you are also interested in the Danube, there is this dissertation available online covering Noricum:

There is a chapter entitled: "Military Camps, Canabae, and Vici. The Archaeological Evidence" in the "Blackwell Companion to the Roman Army" (but a big book with a big price):

"The Small Towns of Roman Britain" may be worth a look:

And more at the top end of the range (coloniae rather than vici) so possibly not of any use, Graham Webster's "Fortress into City" describes the transformation of legionary sites into civilian towns:

This is pretty good - Roman Carmarthen in Wales, UK.

Hanel's chapter is not great (imho), but I'll let you make up your own mind.

Thanks all! I have the Companion so the price isn't a problem there (btw the paperback edition is affordable!).

Thanks for the other references!
