Description
The collection of Roman inscribed stones and sculpture from Maryport in Cumbria is one of the oldest archaeological collections still in private hands. Today, it is housed in the Senhouse Roman Museum, where visitors can see the earthworks of the Roman fort and other Roman objects on display. This book places the collection in context, describing the history of research at the site and its significance for our understanding of the Roman state. Maryport, located at the north-western edge of the Roman Empire, provides valuable insights into the lives of people living within the empire's borders. By examining the collection and the archaeological evidence from the site, 'Maryport: A Roman Fort and its community' sheds new light on the history of this important Roman settlement.
