Finding the Limits of the Limes : Modelling Demography, Economy and Transport on the Edge of the Roman Empire

Finding the Limits of the Limes Modelling Demography, Economy and Transport on the Edge of the Roman Empire

This open access book demonstrates the application of simulation modelling and network analysis techniques in the field of Roman studies. It summarizes and discusses the results of a 5-year research project carried out by the editors that aimed to apply spatial dynamical modelling to reconstruct and...
