Biography
Simon Esmonde Cleary is Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Birmingham. His research interests include Roman and Late Antique archaeology, Roman towns and the transition from the Roman to mediaeval world.
Rome in the Pyrenees will be most useful to scholars of provincial Gaul, especially as regards urban and social development, civitas organisation, and landscape studies. It distils a great amount of archaeological information into a concise and accessible overall analysis. Finally, Esmonde Cleary has added one more feature which improves the book's usability: an appendix which acts as a visitor's guide to Saint-Bertrand. - Antti Lampinen
