Drawing on extensive historical and archaeological data, Nico Roymans examines how between 50 BCE and 70 CE, the Romans cultivated the Batavians as an ethnic other by intensively recruiting them to the Roman army while simultaneously carrying out extermination campaigns against other tribes in the region. Roymans also considers how the status of the Batavian settlement reveals intriguing insights into Roman definitions of 'civilization' and 'barbarism.' <i>Ethnic Identity and Imperial Power</i> is a fascinating anthropological study on how ancient frontier peoples negotiated their self-image.Amsterdam archaeological studies ;10Batavi (Germanic people)Ethnic identityRomansNetherlandsExcavations (Archaeology)NetherlandsNetherlandsHistoryTo 1384NetherlandsAntiquitiesRomeHistoryEmpire, 30 B.C.-476 A.DBatavi (Germanic people)Ethnic identity.RomansExcavations (Archaeology)936.302Roymans Nico800853UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996209546503316Ethnic Identity and Imperial Power1802170UNISA
