This is a paperback reprint of the first edition which appeared in 2004 published by British Museum Press. The ancient city of Dura-Europos destroyed by a Sasanian Persian siege in the AD 250s was an important regional centre of commerce government & military control under the Seleucid Parthian & Roman empires. During excavations in the 1920s & 1930s it became famous for finds such as a painted synagogue & early Christian chapel. Not the least spectacular of the discoveries in this Pompeii of the Syrian Desert were the remains of the towns garrisons & siegeworks & massive quantities of military artefacts. The latter comprise perhaps the most important single collection of arms armour & other equipment to survive from the Roman period a collection which is exceptional in its size diversity & state of preservation. Its colourful painted shields & horse armour for example are unequalled in the vast Roman empire or in neighbouring lands. It also holds vital importance for our knowledge of the material culture of the military in the eastern frontier lands of the Roman world. This book provides a complete catalogue of the military artefacts most of which are now housed in Yale University Art Gallery & analyses & assesses their cultural affiliations & uses. The archaeological evidence from the site is combined with the equally rich & rare textual & representational evidence in the form of papyri graffiti & wall-paintings not to mention the buildings of the city themselves to examine the ways in which material culture actively creates & expresses identity in this case of Roman soldiers of Syrian origin. ...
