[EAN: 9780198152354], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Oxford : Clarendon Press], Jacket, XII, 291 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed jacket, otherwise very good and clean. / Leicht beriebener Umschlag, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - This book seeks to define the cultural, social, and economic consequences of the Roman occupation, in the period c.50 bc-ad 250, of the semi-arid frontier zone of what is today Algeria. It also offers a fresh look at the development and purpose of the North African frontier system. Through detailed examination of the region’s archaeological and epigraphic record, including the marriage patterns recorded on its surviving funerary inscriptions, David Cherry demonstrates that there was probably little acculturation in the frontier zone. The Roman army, long considered to be a powerful instrument of Romanization and a bridge to the indigenous societies of the provinces of the Empire, is shown to have functioned primarily as an army of occupation on the North African frontier, segregated, by choice or circumstance, from the region’s aboriginal population. Military historians as well as scholars of Roman social and cultural history, should find the book of interest. - David Cherry is Assistant Professor of History at Montana State University.
