- Summary
- "The military equipment and horse harnesses discovered in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae have received scant attention in the 250-year history of research in the region. At the same time, it is precisely the location of these cities on the 'military periphery,' as well as the extraordinary preservation of the artifacts, that makes the Vesuvian cities so crucial for investigating the civilian context of Roman military equipment. Through its extensive analysis of secondary sources, its typological classification of the items, and its careful reconstruction of the original context, as well as through its incorporation of epigraphic and other archaeological sources, this study produces a multifaceted and complex picture of the military presence in Vesuvian cities. The study not only sheds light on the relationship between veterans and the local populace as well as soldiers and the travelling Praetorian Guard, but also answers the question of whether weapons and horse harnesses belonged to the standard inventory of upper-class households"--
