Livestock for Sale: Animal Husbandry in a Roman Frontier Zone

Archaeological excavations at the civitas Batavorum, a key settlement on the northwestern frontier of the Roman Empire, reveal significant insights into its economy, military importance, and domestic life. The study employs advanced archaeological techniques to uncover details about livestock trade, food supply for the Roman army, and town infrastructure, including religious and domestic buildings. This research provides the most comprehensive understanding yet of animal husbandry in a Roman frontier zone, offering valuable data on provincial rural economies during this period.
