Scotland's unique position as an outpost of the Roman Empire is explored, highlighting its intermittent occupation in the south and east from AD 79 to the early third century. The narrative delves into the contrasts between the Roman-controlled areas and the northern and western regions that, while not directly governed, were still influenced by Roman presence. This examination sheds light on Scotland's complex relationship with the empire and its historical significance within the broader context of Roman expansion.
Slingers were an element in the Roman army over many centuries, their activities frequently reported in literary accounts of the Late Republic. Despite an ever-expanding body of ancient evidence, some books on the Roman army scarcely mention slingers. This monograph seeks to redress the balance and draws attention to their role and effectiveness.
