Römische Funde aus dem rechtsrheinischen Teil der Kreise Kleve und Wesel

This work is based on all Roman finds from east of the Rhine in the districts of Kleve and Wesel on the Lower Rhine. 208 sites from the 18th c. to 2018 were recorded. The majority of the finds have hitherto remained unpublished.
The research history is followed by an analysis of the many finds, which date from 60 BC to the mid-5th c. A number of types from this area were previously hardly known or unknown. The ancient topography and soils are followed by a history of settlement from the Late Iron Age to the Merovingian period, covering archaeology and ancient sources, describing the degree of Roman control in the Limes foreland and the role of the Rhine as the border of the Roman Empire.

Dr. Clive Bridger (b. 1953) studied Archaeology and Ancient History in Birmingham (GB). He worked from 1975-1985 in the LVR-Archaeological Park Xanten, before transferring to the Xanten Unit of the LVR-State-Service for Archaeological Heritage in the Rhineland (1985-2019). Simultaneously, he studied Provincial Roman Archaeology in Bonn. Beside numerous translations, his over 170 publications focus on the settlement history, cemeteries and finds of the Roman period in the Lower Rhineland.
