“…These appear in varied assemblages and are unlikely to reflect a strictly proscribed form of ethnic dress, but regional variation may well have contributed to a sense of local dress style(s) and reflected local tastes. Brooches that were unfamiliar or obviously outside of their typical distribution area, perhaps worn by travellers or immigrants, may have stood out (e.g., Ivleva 2011). At present, some torcs seem to have more distinct distributions within Britain (FIG.…”

This study defines and characterises the ‘Baldock’ group of copper-alloy penannular torcs, which were worn in south-eastern Britain during the 1st century AD. Torcs had an important local pre-Roman pedigree, but this new regional style of dress seems to have emerged around the time of the Claudian invasion and was worn in the heart of the new Roman province of Britannia. The significance of these torcs is explored, focusing on the new social contexts in which they circulated, their connections to new kinds of provincial identities, and the ways in which torcs were reimagined and transformed within Romano-British society. On cover:Late Roman wall, the portion immediately south of the West Gate (Porta Oea) with re-used blocks from first-century mausolea (Drawing by Francesca Bigi) and Tombstone of Regina from South Shields (Arbeia) (Tyne and WearArchives and Museums/ Bridgeman Images).

The Iron Age and Roman periods are often defined against each other through the establishment of dualities, such as barbarity–civilisation, or spiritual–rational. Despite criticisms, dualities remain prevalent in the National Curriculum for schools, television, museum displays and academic research. Recent scientific studies on human origins, for example, have communicated the idea of an ‘indigenous’ Iron Age, setting this against a mobile and diverse Roman-period population. There is also evidence for citizens leveraging dualities to uphold different positions on contemporary issues of mobility, in the UK and internationally. This paper discusses values and limitations of such binary thinking, and considers how ideas of ambiguity and temporal distancing can serve to challenge attempts to use such dualities to map the past too directly onto the present, reflecting on recent social media debates about Britain and the European Union.

“…Obviously, certain units-like the Batavians-may have clung to their national identity more fiercely than others, and there is clearly a great need to focus on the experience of individual units from other regions of the Empire (cf. Ivleva 2011) At Vindolanda the names of individual men provide a link with soldiers serving in the Imperial Guard two to three generations previously (Birley 2001;Van Driel-Murray 2003: 210), while the fact that a legionary of the II Parthica was keen to emphasise that his eight month old son was 'Batavian born' as late as 244 (CIL III 14403a, from Cnidus) further reinforces the consciousness of long family traditions of military service within the Batavian community. In this particular case, the name-T. Fl(avius) Maritimus-suggests a very long tradition indeed.…”
