The texts from Aphrodisias in Caria at the core of this book provide remarkable documentation for Roman history during the Mithridatic War, the Second Triumvirate and the second-third centuries A.D. They include a Greek translation of the longest senatus consultum so far known and a number of imperial letters. They throw light on provincial attitudes to Rome, on Roman policies in the provinces, on the relation of Octavian with Antony, and on many fascinating details of Roman administrative practice.

This archaeological report contains the results of the excavations at Skeleton Green, East Hertfordshire. This is an outstanding late Iron Age and Romano-British site in Hertfordshire where the stratified sequence of late Belgic buildings and occupation underlying an interesting 2nd-century Romano-British cemetery has yielded remarkable collections of Arretine, Gallo-Belgic and local pottery, together with coins and other objects.

This is an account of large-scale excavations revealing the development of an extensive Iron Age settlement and small Roman town in Hertfordshire from c. 200 B.C. to A.D. 450. Among the furnished burials is an important La Tène III tomb. The book includes valuable discussions of the British coinage, of a wide variety of Gallo-Belgic and other imported Gaulish pottery, of the trading networks within the region and of the implications for the economy of the many animal bones from the site.

The tenth volume in the series Monumenta Asiae Minoris Antiqua contains inscribed and uninscribed monuments from the territories of Cadi, Tiberiopolis, Ancyra Sidera, and Synaus, which lie west of Aezani (covered in MAMA 9), and from Appia, Cotiaeum, and the Phrygo-Mysian border, including a large number from the Upper Tembris Valley, to the east. The monuments were recorded by C W M Cox, A Cameron, and J Cullen in the 1920's. An introduction gives the historical geography of the region, and is followed by a gazateer of place names, and an illustrated catalogue of monuments, with descriptions.

The remarkable preservation of this Bulgarian site and the comprehensive nature of the British research programme combine to provide a unique insight into the physical, economic and palaeo- environmental history of a Roman city from the early 2nd to the late 6th century A.D. This first volume contains the results of the excavations, geophysical surveys, coins, epigraphic finds and an analysis of the Severan frescoes. It also summarises the results of the large environmental programme, small- find, architectural material and ceramic studies and assesses their implications for the city in its regional context and its relations with other parts of the Roman Empire and the early Byzantine world.

The Roman fort at Loughor was founded in c. AD 75 and occupied  continuously until the early 120s. The fort was then reduced and  was reoccupied from c. 270 until the early fourth century.  Excavation was concentrated on the defences and part of the  interior. Detailed examination of the defences enabled useful  analysis of construction methods. In the interior of the  Flavio-Trajanic fort, a sequence of granaries was followed by a  series of  praetoria . Analysis of these buildings has enabled a reconsideration of the form and function of Commander's houses in  auxiliary forts. This volume includes full reports on the finds  which included coins, lamps, glass and intaglios.
