Becoming Roman: The Origins of Provincial Civilization in Gaul

by Greg Woolf

A study of the complete transformation of the provinces of the early Roman empire, when all levels of society and all aspects of life were radically altered. Woolf repudiates traditional theories of `Romanization' and argues that each region remained unique. His study discusses the nature of Roman imperialism and notions of civilisation and the culture and society of pre-Roman Gaul. This study on the contrast between Iron Age and Roman Gaul focuses largely on the themes of urbanism and religion and draws heavily on recent archaeological research. 296p, 20 b/w figs and maps (Cambridge UP 1998, rep 1999, Pb 2000)
