Abstract

While there is a real need to focus on the local when it comes to Late Iron Age and Roman Archaeological study there is also a real need to place any studies firmly within their historical, cultural, social and economic contexts. Attempting to understand the development of Roman provinces and the peoples within them without any real recourse to the Empire that conquered and created them runs a real risk of placing any results and evaluations from excavation and study outside of their real context and somewhat in isolation. I don’t perceive of myself as a Romanist, perhaps living on the western fringe of Europe and having sat through one too many presentations about over focused aspects of Late Iron Age societal developments with barely a reference to the influence and impact of Rome may mean that I can see a need for a more balanced comparative approach to the study of provincial development whilst clearly recognising that a one size top down approach to Acculturation and Romanization does not fit all and fails to recognise the real diversity of provincial life within the context of the Roman empire.
