Frontier landscapes constitute complex realities, primarily when characterised by a conspicuous military presence. Indeed, their development depends on many factors and dynamics: the morphology of the territory, the position and strength of the enemy, the need to control movement, the possibility of communication, and the rapid movement of armies. Using 1st-century-AD — especially Flavian — Scotland as a case study, Andrew Tibbs uses archaeological and historical legacy data and spatial analysis techniques to attempt to piece together the complex dynamics of such a landscape.

Indeed, their development depends on many factors and dynamics: the morphology of the territory, the position and strength of the enemy, the need to control movement, the possibility of communication, and the rapid movement of armies. Using 1st-century-AD — especially Flavian — Scotland as a case study, Andrew Tibbs uses archaeological and historical legacy data and spatial analysis techniques to attempt to piece together the complex dynamics of such a landscape.File in questo prodotto:
