This volume celebrates the twenty-fifth Congress of Roman Frontier Studies. It presents the history of the congress accompanied by photographs and reminiscences from participants, a story populated by many of the well-known archaeologists of the last 75 years and, indeed, earlier as the genesis of the Congress lies in the inter-War years.

Reviews

‘An account of the Sixth International Congress of Archaeology in Berlin (1939), then short chapters breeze through the two dozen Limes congresses, From Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1949) to Viminacium (Serbia) in 2018, leading to ‘Reflections on the Congress’. All are very well illustrated. Like so many events, the intended 2021 congress in Nijmgen had to be postponed, but the next will catch up – in Batumi in 2024 (with inclusivity and decolonisation on the smorgasbord of offerings).’ – Gocha R. Tsetskhladze and James Hargrave (2024): Ancient West and East Volume 23
