The contributions present valuable overviews of recent archaeological research combined with innovative theoretical discussions. Key topics include the movement of precious metals, trajectories of imperial power, the archaeology of migration, and material culture in relation to debates about ethnicity. 606 $aAncient history$2bicssc 606 $aArchaeology$2bicssc 607 $aRome$xAntiquities$vCongresses 607 $aRome$xHistory$yEmpire, 284-476$vCongresses 607 $aRome$xSocial life and customs$vCongresses 607 $aRome$xCivilization$vCongresses 610 $aLate Roman Empire, decline, frontier, barbarians, 615 7$aAncient history 615 7$aArchaeology 676 $a937/.09 701 $aRoymans$b Nico$0800853 701 $aHeeren$b Stijn$f1976-$01877565 701 $aDe Clercq$b Wim$01877566 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597158303321 996 $aSocial dynamics in the northwest frontiers of the late Roman Empire$94489859 997 $aUNINA
