5: 5 Conclusions and some models
1. Rebuffat 1977,395-419; 1982a, 474-513; Trousset 1980a, 931-43;
1981a; 1981b (pers. typescripts. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Trousset
for sending me copies of these valuable discussions in advance of their
publication).
2. Rebuffat 1982a, 508-09.
3. Trousset 1981a, notes a change in the early second century when the
first linear elements were introduced.
4. Rebuffat 1982a, 474-78.
5. Trousset 1981a.
6. Trousset 1980a, 935-36.
7. Rebuff at 1982a, 485-90.
8. Trousset 1981a, discusses the distinction between fines and limes.
9. A model of frontier expansionism based on the peaceful assimilation of
allied tribes at their own request was proposed by Prince Gorchakov of
Russia in 1864. This model is illustrated and discussed in Kirk (1979,
50-52) in relation to British India. It could be equally applicable in
certain
Roman contexts.
10. Courtois 1955, passim. The reaction to his thesis has been generally
.
sceptical, but criticism has been limited to proving that imperial
inscriptions continued to be set up in some of the areas he claimed
were abandoned in the late third century (for instance, Salama 1966).
11. The reign of Severus saw major campaigns in Mesopotamia and Parthia
and Britain as well as the overhaul of a number of frontiers. On
Severus, see the excellent biography by Birley 1971.
12. Picard 1944,48-49.
13. Rebuffat 1977,407-10; 1982a, 481-90,492-502.
