"Knossos is one of the most important sites in the ancient Mediterranean. It remained amongst the largest settlements on the island of Crete from the Neolithic until the late Roman times, but aside from its size it held a place of particular significance in the mythological imagination of Greece and Rome as the seat of King Minos, the location of the Labyrinth and the home of the Minotaur"--

This Element volume provides an up-to-date synthesis of the archaeology of the Roman conquest, combining new theoretical and methodological approaches with the latest fieldwork results. Recent advances in conflict archaeology research are revolutionising our knowledge of Rome's military campaigns in Western and Central Europe, allowing scholars to reassess the impact of the conquest on the indigenous populations. The volume explores different types of material evidence for the Roman wars of conquest, including temporary camps, battlefields, coinage production, and regional settlement patterns. These and other topics are examined using four case studies: Caesar's Gallic Wars, the Cantabrian and Asturian Wars, the Germanic Wars of Augustus, and the Roman conquest of Britain. By focusing on the 'dark sides' of the Roman expansion and reclaiming the memory of the conquered, the Element aims to contribute to a more holistic understanding of the processes of incorporation and integration into the Roman Empire.

"La question de la romanisation des Gaules a été très longuement abordée d'un point de vue archéologique et historique pendant ces deux dernières décennies. Pourtant, si de nombreuses études analysent la transformation de la culture matérielle et des vestiges immobiliers lors de l'intégration des Gaules dans le monde romain, l'absence des matériaux de construction dans cette réflexion est tout à fait marquante. À partir de modes de construction caractéristiques, comme les couvertures en tuiles romaines de terre cuite ou les maçonneries en pierres liées au mortier de chaux, est-il possible de mettre en évidence des rythmes et des pratiques variés dans l'apparition et la diffusion des matériaux de construction romains ? Cet ouvrage résulte de l'inventaire systématique des données archéologiques dans le quart nord-est de la France. La mise en place d'une approche prenant en compte les situations administratives, sociétales et culturelles diverses de dix cités gallo-romaines, entre le IIe siècle avant J.-C. et le Ier siècle après J.-C., permet d'analyser les relations complexes de ces territoires avec Rome et la romanité. Deux groupes se définissent par des modalités opposées : des peuples pour lesquels la production des matériaux de construction se restreint aux ressources locales nécessaires et ceux pour lesquels intervient un transport relativement important de ces matériaux, parfois sur de grandes distances. Ces éléments permettent de discuter la question des identités, civiques et provinciales, qui peuvent être à l'origine de ces différences."--Page 4 of cover
