Furthermore, everybody will expect you to specialize in (provincial) Roman Archaeology. I do not know if those jokes and expectations played a role, but in the earlier years of my study I actually tried to steer clear of Roman archaeology. However, over time, archaeological fieldwork kept throwing Roman archaeology at my feet. It started with the fieldschool at Den Haag Uithofslaan VP3, followed by fieldwork at Roman period settlements at Naaldwijk Zuidweg, Midden-Delfland Harnaschpolder, Roman roads in Utrecht, Roman period dams with culverts at Bernisse, the fortress at Vechten, and very recently Naaldwijk again. Before I knew it, I was completely “hooked ”. Although I initially intended to focus my research on the transition period from the Iron Age to the Roman period in Zuid-Holland, a period that is still poorly understood, the lack of material forced me to change my plans. Therefore, this thesis mainly concerns Roman military equipment from civilian contexts of the late 1 st to early 3 rd century AD. This research would never have been possible without the cooperation of many people working at the various archaeological companies, municipal services, museums, depots etc. I especially would like to thank Jean Paul Bakx (erfgoed Delft), Jeroen van Zoolingen & Ab Waasdorp (gemeente Den Haag), Tim de Ridder (Vlak), Hans Koot (gemeente Rijswijk), Kees Herweijer (BOOR), Ton Immerzeel & C. van der Doef (Westlands Museum), Lourens van der Feijst (ADC), Tiziano Goossens & Michiel Goddijn (Archol), Heleen van Londen, Mark Driessen & Stefanie Hoss (University of Amsterdam), Daphne Smits (BAAC) and Jasper de Bruin (Leiden University Leiden). Furthermore, I like to thank the various sections of AWN. It was my intention to include as many private collections as possible. To be honest, I am not completely sure whether I succeeded or not. However, I have met a number of very friendly and cooperative amateur archaeologists, who, sometimes without even having any military equipment or horse gear in their collections, helped me a great deal in understanding the metal detecting situation in Zuid-Holland. My colleagues at RAAP West have been a great help by relentlessly inquiring about my progress, although for one the motivation for doing so seemed to be the cake and graduation party. But more importantly, the many discussions about the subject were invaluable. Special thanks go out to Jan Albert Schenk and especially Geuch de Boer for their help with the maps. 5 - Unarmed Cananefates? - But most importantly, I have to thank Esther for her unending patience and her help to keep me on track when I was lost in the most remote corners of the Roman Empire in search of more information. And finally, although it will take many years before she can read this, I have to thank little Erlijn, for the motivation to see this to a good end. 6 - Unarmed Cananefates? - 1. Introduction Since in 1992 the Valletta treaty was signed, the Dutch archaeological world started to change and saw the introduction of (semi) commercially operating companies. This resulted roughly a decade later in a considerably increased volume of research. However, the new (semi)commercial approach is often criticized for being less or not scientific, as it is driven by modern day infrastructural developments and not necessarily by scientific research questions (e.g. Bazelmans 2009; KNAW 2007; Raemaekers 2008) . On the other hand, the new system is responsible for a substantial part of the research taking place in areas and locations, which have been largely neglected by the ‘traditional ’ scientific archaeological world with unsuspected results on a regular basis. 1.1 Research background. During the last few decades, a tremendous amount of research has been carried out focusing on the rural communities during the Roman period in the Netherlands. Recurring themes in this research are Romanization and identity (Roymans 1996; 2004). Unfortunately, this research is very unevenly distributed over the Netherlands as the majority of these studies are focused on the Batavian region in the Dutch Eastern River Area (Heeren 2009; Nicolay 2007; Roymans 2004; Vos 2009; Willems 1981; 1984). This high degree of attention for the Batavians is not surprising. Firstly, a wealth of historical sources mention the Batavians, e.g. Historiae, Annales, Germania (Tacitus). According to Tacitus, the Batavians were exempt from regular taxes (at least for the 1 st century), based on an old treaty with Rome ( civitas antiqua ). Instead, they supplied a high number of troops for the auxilia (8 cohors and 1 ala ) and a substantial part of the emperors ’ bodyguard. 1 In doing so, the Batavians were the principal supplier of Roman troops in Northern Gaul (Nicolay 2007, 7). The historical authors emphasize their prominent military role and martial prowess, e.g. ‘they [Batavians] are like weapons and armor – only to be used in war ’ (Tacitu s, Germ. 29). Furthermore, the historical sources give an exceptional detailed account of the Batavian revolt of AD 69, in which the Batavians and their allies laid waste to parts of the Rhine limes . 1 The possibility of regular taxes being collected in the Batavian area during the 2 nd century AD has recently been demonstrated (Groot et. al. 2009). 7 - Unarmed Cananefates? - Secondly, the epigraphic (military) evidence on the Batavians (veteran diploma’s, gravestones, etc) found throughout the area of the Roman Empire is abundant and detailed (Derks 2009) providing an important secondary source for researchers. Thirdly, the Batavian region contains well preserved sites with excellent preserved bones and metals (including military equipment) that have been systematically mapped (Willem 1981), providing another key source for researchers. These sources and evidence have served to shape the Batavian image of an exceptionally warlike “warrior elite ”. However, do the Batavians indeed have this exceptional martial identity or is that a general characteristic for all the communities along the Roman Rhine limes ? In other words, are the Batavians representative for the other communities along the Roman Rhine limes ? Hardly any overview studies have been made about the other known tribal areas or civitates in the Netherlands. For example, the Batavian western neighbors, the Cananefates, only received fragmentary attention (as stated by Bazelmans and De Jonge 2006, 39). In the Dutch Archaeological Research Agenda chapter on the limes (Van Enckevort and Vos 2006), the Cananefates are not mentioned at all in the text, although the limes coincides with the northern border of the civitas Cananefatium. The Batavians, on the other hand, are mentioned over twenty times. Furthermore, the first synthesizing work about the Cananefatian area, published in 1978 by Bloemers, is still a principal source, despite being 32 years old.

  • Romans and Batavians: Regional Developments at the Imperial Frontier
    ROMANS AND BATAVIANS: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTS AT THE IMPERIAL FRONTIER WillemJ.H. Willems The Batavians are certainly among the most well-known tribes in the Roman empire, both in antiquity and today. Their relation with the Romans has been the subject of much scholarly discussion in the past and the present, but most of this discussion was based primarily on literary data. With the exception of the work of Modderman (1949, 1951), however, no effort has been made to substanriate the archaeological data-base of the Batavian tribal area in the eastern part of the Dutch Rhine delta. Fortunately, in 1978 a detailed study of all archaeological evidence of the central part of this area could be starled. On the basis of the preliminary results of this project, it is now pos- sible to examine some of the archaeological correlates of the acculturation processes which operated here from the Late Iron Age to the Early Middle Ages (c. 250 B.C. - A.D. 750). But first it is necessary to examine some of the theoretical concepts invol- ved. Since the 1954 SSRC Seminar, acculturation is often defined as culture change that is initiated by the conjunction of two or more autonomous cultural systems. In our case it is evident that the differences between the cultural systems involved are very large in- deed (below p. 112 and Roymans this vol.). On the one hand is a system which may be described as a state, while on the other hand we are dealing with a society at a much lower level of social complexity.

  • Map 10 Rhenus-Albis Compiled by J.H.F
    Map 10 Rhenus-Albis Compiled by J.H.F. Bloemers, 1995 Introduction The map covers a large part of what Ptolemy (2.Prolog.; 2.11) called Germania Megale, that immense part of Germania outside the formal north-west limits of the Roman empire, bordered by the North Sea and Baltic Sea. During the Roman period the landscape was, as elsewhere, quite different from the present; in this region the coast, estuaries, rivers and moors deserve special attention. Long-known historical information has to be combined with knowledge acquired after World War II by intensive geological and palaeogeographical research in the Netherlands and northern Germany. Due to the rise in sea level and post-Roman shoreline changes, the coast along the southern North Sea has changed considerably since the Roman period, retreating landwards. In general, with the help of well-founded geological data, it can now be reconstructed in advance of the present-day shoreline (Kossack 1984, 51-82; van Es 1988, 88-94). Even so, it still seems prudent to render long stretches as approximate. In antiquity, principal rivers such as the Rhenus, Visurgis and Albis spread over wide flood-plains, but are now channeled between embankments. Large areas in the north of the modern Netherlands and Germany were covered by peat, and consequently almost inaccessible. Today, these are drained and cultivated, with the result that the ground level is now many feet lower than during Roman times. In addition, ancient Germania Megale was famous for its extensive, dense forests. All the Greek and Roman texts relating to the region are conveniently assembled by Byvanck (1931) and Goetz (1995).

Bij Koninklijk Besluit van 7 Juli 1903, No. 44, werd ingesteld eene Rijkscommissie tot het opmaken en uitgeven van een inventaris en eene beschrijving van de Nederlandsche monumenten van Geschiedenis en Kunst. De taak dezer Rijkscommissie is: het samenstellen en uitgeven eener geïllustreerde beschrijving van alle in Nederland aanwezige gebouwen en voorwerpen, dagteekenend van vóór 1850, die belang bezitten als uiting van kunst of om eene er aan verbonden historische herinnering. Aldus zal worden verkregen een handboek, waarin men over de aanwezigheid, de artistieke of historische waarde en den toestand der monumenten van geschiedenis en kunst uitvoerige inlichting kan vinden en tegelijkertijd een volledige en betrouwbare bron voor de Nederlandsche kunstgeschiedenis. Ten einde dit groote werk, dat vele jaren zal vorderen, met meer kennis van zaken te kunnen ondernemen en tevens zoo spoedig mogelijk een overzicht te geven van al wat het behouden waard is, besloot de Rijkscommissie eene ‘Voorloopige Lijst’ der monumenten te bewerken, waarin gebouwen en met gebouwen samenhangende voorwerpen alleen kort worden vermeld. Voor het thans verschijnend derde deel dezer lijst1), bevattende de monumenten der provincie Zuidholland, zijn de gegevens, met uitzondering van die betreffende de gemeenten Delft en 's-Gravenhage, door onderzoek ter plaatse van 1904 tot 1909 verzameld door Mr. Dr. J.C.

This negative perception of Germania – the modern Netherlands and Germany – lay behind the reluctance of Rome’s great military commanders to tame its immense wilderness. Caius Iulius Caesar famously threw a wooden pontoon bridge across the River Rhine (Rhenus) in just ten days, not once but twice, in 55 and 53 bc. The next Roman general to do so was Marcus Agrippa, in 39/38 bc or 19/18 bc. However, none of these missions was for conquest, but in response to pleas for assistance from an ally of the Romans, the Germanic nation of the Ubii. It was not until the reign of Caesar Augustus that a serious attempt was made to annex the land beyond the wide river and transform it into a province fit for Romans to live in.
