'Periphery? Scotland in the Roman Empire’
Scotland was on the periphery of the Roman Empire – from a Rome-centric perspective, Britain was on the north-western perimeter of a vast Empire, centred around the Mediterranean but which stretched from Scotland in the North to Egypt in the South, and from Spain in the West to Syria in the East. The regular movements of troops from one area to another resulted in a dynamism in frontier areas, and the frontiers of Rome’s Empire cannot be studied in isolation from each other.
Studies of Hadrian’s Wall have dominated northern Britain, but there is an increasing range of archaeological evidence aiding our understanding of the repeated attempts by the Roman in Scotland, trying to complete the conquest of Britain. These provide tantalising clues about the various invasions and relationships with the local communities.
