Summary:

The range of papers presented in this volume demonstrates the wide scope of Brian Hartley's interests and the fields of archaeological scholarship with which he has been involved. It begins with studies on Roman Britain, particularly the military history, followed by papers on samian ware. Brian made a life-long study of, and was a leading international authority on, samian ware, a subject of vital importance for the chronology of Roman sites throughout Western Europe in the first two centuries AD. Papers on other types of Roman pottery and various classes of other finds relevant to the history and life of Roman Britain conclude the book.
