Finding the Limits of the Limes
This open access volume demonstrates the innovative application of simulation modeling and network analysis techniques to reconstruct the socio-economic development of the Dutch part of the Roman frontier (limes) zone. Summarizing the results of a comprehensive five-year research project, the book bridges computational and conventional historical approaches to explore complex dynamics such as forced surplus agrarian production, transport network structuring, settlement patterns, and the broader demographic impacts of Roman occupation on local populations. Featuring invited comparative case studies and rigorous chapters on model sensitivity analysis and validation, it serves as an invaluable resource for students and scholars working in ancient history, Roman archaeology, and the computational social sciences.
