Germania was one of the most important and complex zones of cultural interaction and conflict between Rome and neighbouring societies. A vast region, it became divided into urbanised provinces with elaborate military frontiers and the northern part of the continental 'Barbaricum'. Recent decades have seen a major effort by German archaeologists, ancient historians, epigraphers, numismatists, and other specialists to explore the Roman era in their own territory, with rich and often surprising new knowledge. This Handbook aims to make the results of this great effort of modern German and overwhelmingly German-language scholarship more widely available to Anglophone scholarship on the empire.
Archaeology and ancient history are international enterprises characterised by specific national scholarly traditions; this is notably true of the study of Roman-era Germania. This volume compromises a collection of essays in English by leading scholars working in Germany, presenting the latest developments in current research as well as situating their work within wider international scholarship through a series of critical responses from other, very different, national perspectives. In doing so, this book aims to reveal the riches of the archaeology of Roman Germany, promote the achievements of German scholars in the area, and help facilitate continued English and German language discourses on the Roman era.

Review
"...this excellent book fills a long-underserved need for up-to-date information on, and interpretation of, the Romans' activities in ancient Germany. Regardless of language, it is a valuable contribution to the subject." -- Lindsay Powell, Ancient Warfare"A new Oxford Handbook to the Archaeology of Roman Germany looks set to become the go-to resource for those researching, teaching, and studying the provinces of the Roman North..." -- Michael Squire, Greece & Rome"a highly informative invitation to all classical archaeologists to explore recent analyses of the rich archaeological datasets available for the Roman Empire's German provinces ... this volume is an invaluable primer and call to action for all Roman archaeologists who want to engage with current, mostly German-language research on the Roman German provinces, Upper German-Raetian limes, and Germania Magna/Barbaricum." -- Matthew Schueller, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
