Finding the Limits of the Limes: Modelling Demography, Economy and Transport on the Edge of the Roman Empire (Computational Social Sciences)
by Philip Verhagen, Jamie Joyce, Mark R. Groenhuijzen
This book models demography, economy, and transport at the Roman Empire's edges using computational social sciences. It examines the Limes through simulations that illuminate historical patterns and interactions in frontier regions, providing a novel lens on ancient boundary dynamics.
About This Book
This volume delves into the application of computational models to analyze the Roman Empire's boundaries, focusing on demographic patterns, economic activities, and transportation networks.
Authors Philip Verhagen, Jamie Joyce, and Mark R. Groenhuijzen employ methods from computational social sciences to simulate and interpret historical data from the empire's edges.
The work highlights how these models reveal insights into the interactions and dynamics at the limits of Roman influence, known as the Limes.
By integrating diverse datasets, the book offers a structured approach to studying ancient societies through modern computational techniques.
