The Social Archaeology of Ports and Harbours of the Roman Empire examines the crucial role maritime hubs played in the economic, social, and cultural life of the empire.  Drawing on archaeological evidence, ancient texts, and modern research, the book explores how these ports and harbours not only facilitated trade and transportation but also supported essential service industries, fostered interactions among diverse populations often overlooked in historical narratives, and contributed to the spread of Roman culture.

This publication builds on discussions from the panel Port Cities in the Roman Provinces: Places and Peoples at the 2024 Roman Archaeology Conference/Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference in London.  Expanding on key themes from the session, it includes selected papers presented at the conference alongside additional contributions from other scholars.
