Hadrian's Wall and the End of Empire (Routledge Studies in Archaeology)

There is no synthetic or comprehensive treatment of any late Roman frontier in the English language to date, despite the political and economic significance of the frontiers in the late antique period. Examining Hadrian’s Wall and the Roman frontier of northern England from the fourth century into the Early Medieval period, this book investigates a late frontier in transition from an imperial border zone to incorporation into Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, using both archaeological and documentary evidence. With an emphasis on the late Roman occupation and Roman military, it places the frontier in the broader imperial context. In contrast to other works, Hadrian’s Wall and the End of Empire challenges existing ideas of decline, collapse, and transformation in the Roman period, as well as its impact on local frontier communities. Author Rob Collins analyzes in detail the limitanei, the frontier soldiers of the late empire essential for the successful maintenance of the frontiers, and the relationship between imperial authorities and local frontier dynamics. Finally, the impact of the end of the Roman period in Britain is assessed, as well as the influence that the frontier had on the development of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria.

"When They Close the Lid" reminds us of those things we don't like to talk about; things like the fragility of life, death and eternity. It reminds us life is a gift therefore we must make the most of each day that has been entrusted to us. Life is fleeting, resembling a vapor that appears briefly in the world only to vanish just as quickly. Pastor and author Rob Collins has experienced this "human minded" transition from earth to heaven first hand while dealing with life's uncertainties during his twenty years of pastoral ministry. These encounters have helped him see how people spend their years in the short amount of time presented as a gift from God. In his first published book, "When They Close the Lid", Rob reflects on this existence people know as life: the seasons, storms of life, transitions of time, and the hope of heaven is used to help fuel one's purpose in life. Rob cites countless examples, both biblical and mainstream, that demonstrate the ideals of the brevity of life as well as the importance of creating "now moments" with loved ones. "Don't miss any of these moments by looking ahead in worry or by looking behind in regret. Remember, if you let yesterday consume too much of today it can rob you of the joy of the now moment while draining the life right out of tomorrow at the same time. Be where you are, not where you wish you were or think you should be. Make the most of the moments that you have been given and live life like it matters because it does!" This book also journeys into discussions about the uniqueness of our "human bodies' along with questions people may have about their eternal home known as heaven. The hope of God, as well as Rob, is for others to embrace the "now moments" that emerge that, once seized, create lasting memories for all involved. It is those moments that make a life well lived before their time comes on that day "When They Close the Lid."

It was a phrase that was used when people would express how they felt about a negative event that had just taken place. It was an expression used when their fearful expectation that what they had dreaded, actually happened. However, I Was Afraid of That is also a play on words. That play on words is this: I was afraid that was going to happen and it did! And, secondly, and most importantly, I used to be afraid of that, but now I’m not afraid of that any longer. That’s what this book is all about; it’s about displacing any unhealthy fear that may be at the core of your life.In his fourth published book, I Was Afraid of That!, author Rob Collins deals with the everyday practical fears that all of us have dealt with at some point or another in our lives.

It’s about standing against and walking through any fear that would try to hinder people from being all they were intended to be, or that they may desire to become.

A world apart: The thriving resort community of Killarney nestled in a valley surrounded by nature's glory had little contact with the world of the Irish country people who scraped out a meager living on postage stamp sized acreage. The winter of 1847 was the most severe in Ireland's history. Flynn O'Connell and his family suffered through the winter. The hens died. Flynn lit small fires to try to keep the sheep warm, but some of them died. The former French Foreign Legionnaire chose a life of relative solitude trying to forget the past. His wife Margaret, decended from Irish royalty chose seclusion, in hiding from a persistant former lover who would not end his pursuit. In the coutryside, the Irish peasant faced a third year of potato crop failure. The main source of food for the common people was lost forcing them to buy grain at inflated prices from unscrupulous Engish merchants. Disease and death followed for those who had no money. Leaving the land they loved became an option. A million people fled. Patriots hid in the shadows, fearful of discovery for thier wish to be free from religious and political oppression. They were led by Daniel O'Connell, the Liberator, who fought English domination fighting for freedoms enjoyed by sons and daughters who fled to a new land, a continent away.
