What is Roman Officers and English Gentlemen : The Imperial Origins of Roman Archaeology about?

This landmark book shows how much Victorian and Edwardian Roman archaeologists were influenced by their own experience of empire in their interpretation of archaeological evidence. This distortion of the facts became accepted truth and its legacy is still felt in archaeology today. While tracing the development of these ideas, the author also gives the reader a throrough grounding in the history of Roman archaeology itself. Review 'A major contribution to a number of different academic fields Theoretically astute, yet engagingly written, it has a wide potential readership.' - Dominic Montserrat, JACT Review 'Hingley's book is without doubt necessary and admirable.' - David Boyd Haycock, TLS About the Author Richard Hingleyis a lecturer in Roman archaeology at the University of Durham. The impact of classical Rome on ancient Britain, as perceived by the late Victorian and Edwardian elites, was a resource of immense contemporary political value. The images it produced helped to define the idea and practice of British imperialism, and the very concept of Englishness. Academics colluded in this process and this created a legacy in Roman archaeology which persists to the present
