N1  - Includes bibliographical references; Volume I. Civil settlements near Roman legionary fortresses in Lower Moesia
N2  - Volume I: "This monograph presents the civilian settlements at four legionary camps located in the Roman province of Lower Moesia: Novae, Oescus, Durostorum and Troesmis. Based on archaeological and epigraphic evidence, the book presents in detail the remains and proof of extramural settlement at Novae as case study, as compared to three other Lower Moesian sites. In each case, topography, the current state of research, the unearthed remains in the vicinity of these fortresses, as well as various written evidence on the subject are presented and critically evaluated. This book is a first attempt at the evaluation of the extramural settlement in the area of the Lower Danubian provinces. A number of issues related to these settlements are discussed against the backdrop of the problems of extramural settlements near Roman military bases in general"--provided by publisher; Volume II: "This book presents the results of a research project realised in 2012-14 in the surroundings of the Roman legionary base at Novae (Moesia inferior), transformed in late Antiquity into a civilian town. The publication also contains material from surveys conducted in 1977 and in 2000, which have so far only been partly published. Various research methods were implemented jointly to enable at least a partial reconstruction of the settlement's character. These included geophysical prospection, field walking, and the mapping of metal finds, supplemented by a series of analyses, such as the testing of plant pollen and macroremains, with the aim of providing as complete a reconstruction as possible of the past environment in the fortress' surroundings. We attempted to record both the finds originating from earlier epochs and those from later ones, in order to provide a more complete reconstruction of the settlement landscape and the character of the site"--provided by publisher
