The region has long been a border zone, today forming part of the border between Serbia and Romania, and the majority of the border between Romania and Bulgaria. Despite its importance for understanding both Roman frontier policy and the relationship between ancient and modern borderscapes, the region has not yet made its full contribution to international Roman scholarship. Bridging the theoretical divide that exists between different regional research traditions, chapters in this volume focus on sites like Ratiaria, in modern north-western Bulgaria, while other contributors examine the complex landscape from a wider perspective oriented around roads, temporary camps, or early Christian sites. <em>The Roman Lower Danube Frontier</em> emphasises the importance of engaging with Roman frontier landscapes, particularly in regions such as East-Central Europe, where they remain part of a contemporary borderscape.</p> 606 $aSocial Science / Archaeology$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Ancient / Rome$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 610 00$aRoman Frontiers$aLower Danube Frontier$aScythia Minor$aLandscape Archaeology$aMoesia Inferior$aLate Antiquity$aRoman Archaeology 615 7$aSocial Science / Archaeology 615 7$aHistory / Ancient / Rome 615 0$aHistory 702 $aHanscam$b Emily 702 $aKaravas$b John 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910767593103321 997 $aUNINA
