Abstract

The article focuses on a scholarly volume that honors Professor David Arabia Kennedy and explores the archaeology of Rome's eastern frontier through 21 contributions. The work spans a broad historical timeline, from prehistory to modern times, and is organized into four sections: ‘Revisiting the Roman record,’ ‘Reframing the record,’ ‘Hinterland studies,’ and ‘Sky, sand and basalt.’ Each section examines various archaeological sites and methodologies, including the impact of aerial photography, archival research, and the cultural identities that coexisted with Roman imperial influences. The volume highlights the complexity of the region's archaeological landscape and the significance of Kennedy's contributions to the field. [Extracted from the article]
