A STUDY ON ROMAN BRITAIN AND ROMAN GERMANY

大多数研究罗马历史的学者都知道，罗马人征服了未开化的土地，带来了帝国核心部分罗马和意大利的野蛮人民文化和文明(罗马化)。但罗马人实际上在帝国的边缘做了什么？本项目试图通过分析罗马帝国的两个周边省份--罗马不列颠和罗马德国，来重新审视罗马帝国的本质特征。多亏了助学金，我有机会访问了英国、德国和瑞士。剑桥、牛津和海德堡的许多学者给了我很多帮助。我也得到了一些市级考古单位工作人员的大力支持。因此，参观了许多发掘地点和博物馆，我可以直接调查许多考古证据。我认为，这种研究风格本身就是日本罗马历史学会的一次划时代的活动。作为我的项目的结果，我可以了解罗马帝国和大英帝国之间的一个重要关系，以解释罗马各省的发展。20世纪初形成了一个有用但麻烦的概念--“罗马化”。但它受到了英国帝国主义的影响，理查德·兴利博士最近指出了这一点。因此，我研究了从F·哈弗菲尔德到R·欣利的英国考古学和罗马史学者的理论。我还考察了关于罗马德意志的最新研究趋势。笔者认为，罗马化的概念是在帝国主义和殖民主义的影响下形成的，我们必须继续通过分析其边缘部分来重新审视罗马帝国的本质特征。

Most scholars of Roman History understand that the Romans conquered uncivilized land and brought the barbarous people culture and civilization of the core part of the Empire, i.e. Rome and Italy (Romanization).But what did the Romans do in the peripheral part of the Empire actually? This project tries to reconsider the essential character of the Roman Empire analizing two peripheral provinces, Roman Britain and Roman Germany. Thanks to the grant-in-aid, I had some opportunities for visiting U.K., Germany and Switzerland. Many scholars of Cambridge, Oxford and Heidelberg gave me a lot of assistance. And I also got a lot of support from the staffs of some municipal Archaeological Units. So, visiting many excavation sites and museums, I could investigate many archaeological evidences directly. I think that this style of research itself is an epoch-making activity for the Japanese academy of Roman History.As the result of my project, I could understand an important relation between the Roman Empire and the British Empire for interpreting the development of the Roman provinces. An useful but troublesome conception "Romanization" was formed at the beginning of 20th century. But it was influenced by the British imperialism, which Dr. Richard Hingley pointed out recently. So I examined the theories of the British scholars of Archaeology and Roman History from F. Haverfield to R. Hingley. And I also examined recent trend of study on Roman Germany. I argue that the conception "Romanization" was shaped under the influence of the imperialism and colonialism and that we have to continue to reconsider the essential character of the Roman Empire by analyzing the peripheral part.
