Ursus Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Italy By the Age of Augustus, all of Italy had been Romanized, including the formerly Celtic lands of the north. The civil wars had meant the death or impoverishment of many of Rome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldrail Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 The aborted colonisation of germania really ought to get a mention, and part of caesars intentions on his two landings in britain was to open trade and relations with friendly tribes rather than simply crush britain underfoot. He was softening britain up for a future annexation besides cutting off gaulish support and glory seeking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Neil Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) Regarding Britain, this general summary is true - however, I believe York deserves a mention, as it was quite a large town, and an outpost of true Roman - ness in the North of the province. It was base to one of the three legions. Severus and Constantius died there, and Constantine spent time there.

docoflove1974 Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Quick question: I'm looking for a good source which discusses Romanization. The Barbarians Week from the History Channel has my gears turning. Any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divi Filius Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) Regarding Britain. I have heard in the past that the territory comprising modern Wales was never "conquered" but rather needed constant legionary watch. How much truth is there to this? Are there many noted camps in the country? Temporary Camps in Wales Just answered my last question.... including one recorded in the prestigious position as Prefect of Egypt If you are speaking of Tiberius Alexander: it has even been suggested and argued that he was made prefect of the camp not too long afterwards. Although he reached those levels, his actions showed just what the Romans expected of a Jew in order to accept them as one of theirs. His action against the Alexandrian Jews were brutal...

Septimus Flavius Galarius Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Regarding Britain. I have heard in the past that the territory comprising modern Wales was never "conquered" but rather needed constant legionary watch Actually Gnaeus Julius Agricola the governor of Britain crushed a revolt by the Ordovices in Wales around year 77. After that revolt i don't know of any major rebellions in Wales against Roman authority, so i don't believe wales needed any special watching.

It may be true that there were no major open revolts after Agricola, but the disproportionate number of legionary/auxilia forts in Wales proves that it never became the model of Romanization that southeastern Britain became.

Ursus Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 "Experiencing Rome," edited by Huskinson has a section on Romanization in the chapter on Roman religion, pages 269-271. I have this book too, and reviewed it for the site. I think in the sum of things it gives a nice overview on how different sectors of civilization found their identity with Rome. By the way, docoflove, you should check out the two works I referenced at the end of the initial article to this thread. Colin Wells gives a nice treatment of the provinces.
