Bathing at the Edge of the Roman Empire. Baths and Bathing Habits in the North-Western Corner of Continental Europe
, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 304 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:229 b/w, 13 col., 13 tables b/w., 8 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503600666.
Summary Roman bathhouses are considered to be prime markers when studying romanization in the provinces of the Empire, as these very specific ? and archaeologically recognizable ? buildings, together with their associated ideas about the body and personal health, introduced a decidedly Roman habit into regions that had hitherto been unfamiliar with (communal) bathhouses and heating technology. While traditionally, studies into Roman baths and bathing have focused on large public baths in the cities of the empire, however, those from the area that now roughly corresponds to modern-day Belgium have often been neglected in recent research as this was an area with few important urban centres. This book for the first time investigates the introduction, spread, and eventual disappearance of Roman-style baths and of bathing habits in this north-western corner of the Roman Empire. A detailed analysis of the architecture, technology, and decoration of both public and private baths is combined with a discussion on the role of bathing in the area's romanization, and supplemented by a fully illustrated catalogue of all bathhouses in the area of study. In doing so, the volume sheds new light not only on the evolution of baths and bathing in this region, but also on their broader role in larger historic processes such as cultural change across the Empire.

Coin Finds and Monetization in the Roman Northwest
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2025 Hardback, xvi + 172 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:51 b/w, 21 tables b/w., Language: English, *new. ISBN 9780897224314.
The expansion of Rome into northwestern Europe brought with it the presence and the increased usage of coinage both within the empire and in the Barbaricum. Coin Finds and Monetization in the Roman Northwest presents a study of coin finds and the monetary economy of northwestern continental Europe over much of the Roman period (c. 50 BC?AD 274). One of the largest datasets of coin finds ever assembled is deployed to analyze distribution patterns and fluctuations over time and space. It is clear that the Roman state made a concerted effort to manage coinage and the monetary economy during its rule in northwestern Europe, to the extent that was possible. Regionality is, however, a key feature of the coined monetary economy that resulted from deliberate action or the state?s inability to respond to demand, underscoring how centralized and empire-wide factors had an impact in the study region. Publication of this book has been aided by a grant from the von Bothmer Publication Fund of the Archaeological Institute of America.

Heralds of Hope. The Three Advent Hymns of the Roman Office
, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 243 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:14 tables b/w., Language(s):English, Latin, Greek. ISBN 9782503596426.
Summary This book shares the fruits of several years of research on the Advent Hymns of the Roman Office. It provides an opportunity to gain fresh insights into the gradual development of the liturgical season of Advent and the particular characteristics assumed in its Roman form. The journey of the exquisite treasure of the Western Church that is the Latin hymn is explored before each of the three Advent hymns of the Roman Office is mined for its theology and rich scriptural associations. Its sometimes rocky journey through successive revisions of the Roman Office is considered through the lens of the three Advent hymns. Finally, a number of important pastoral issues dealing with the celebration of the Advent Season in our contemporary Church are considered, taking into account the nature of Advent as revealed in the traditional hymn texts, the liturgical reforms following the Second Vatican Council and current liturgical texts for Advent.
