"Hadrian, a Roman emperor, the builder of Hadrian's Wall in the north of England, a restless and ambitious man who was interested in architecture and was passionate about Greece and Greek culture. Is this the common image today of the ruler of one of the greatest powers of the ancient world?" "Published to complement a major exhibition at the British Museum, this wide-ranging book rediscovers Hadrian. The sharp contradictions in his personality are examined, previous concepts are questioned and myths that surround him are exploded." --Book Jacket.

Genre: Antonine Wall (Scotland)
ISBN:

"In this new book, David Breeze tells the story of the Roman invasion of southern Scotland in the second century A.D., the building of the Antonine Wall, its occupation and abandonment. The material used to describe these events includes contemporary coins and literary sources together with inscription and sculpture from the wall itself, as well as the archaeological remains of the monument. The unique distance slabs not only record the process of building, but also provide a series of snapshots depicting the preparations, invasion and victory achieved by the Roman army over 1800 years ago, and stunning new photography by David Henrie of Historic Scotland illustrates all aspects of this most northerly Roman frontier. Both scholarly and beautifully illustrated, Edge of Empire underlines the reasons why the Antonine Wall has been proposed as a World Heritage Site."--BOOK JACKET.

Release: 2002
Genre: Architecture
ISBN:

During the first to the fifth centuries AD the Danube-Balkan region formed a buffer zone between the Latin speaking world of the west and the Greek speaking lands of the east. This book deals with the development and influence of the architectural plan of the late Roman villa in the Danube-Balkan region. It combines an archaeological and an architectural historical approach to the examination of the plans which form the primary focus of the research. At the same time, the functional and decorative elements of the buildings are considered in detail where appropriate. The research is based on extensive fieldwork and draws together the existing literature to elucidate the architecture of the late Roman villa in the Danube-Balkan region and to establish its broader significance. A systematic study of this nature has not previously been carried out.
