Roman Gaul (Routledge Revivals): The Three Provinces, 58 BC-AD 260 - Routledge Revivals
Drinkwater, John (University of Birmingham)
Roman Gaul, first published in 1983, makes use of a wealth of archaeological discoveries and modern methods of interpretation to give an account of the Roman presence in Gaul, from the time of Caesar?s conquests until the Crisis of the third century. Professor Drinkwater emphasises the changes caused in the Three Gauls and Germany by the impact of Romanisation ? urbanisation, agriculture, trade and education ? and points out the often curious ways in which Roman influences survive in these areas to the present day.
Particular attention is paid to the evolution of the landowning class, as well as its relationship with the artisans and traders found in townships and cities. An assessment of the strength of Romano-Gallic society and its economy in the tumultuous third century AD concludes this lively and provocative coverage of an intriguing subject. Roman Gaul will be of interest to all students of the Roman legacy.
