Description:
The study has been conducted on the background of 18 years of research - and rescue excavations, followed by 20 years of intensive analyses of the finds. The artefacts have been put into a European context, the result being an increased knowledge of the history in the Roman period (100-500 AD). The finds from the site of Ilderup Adal consist of 15.000 items belonging to an army from the Roman period, especially from around 200 AD. The tangible result is 12 volumes in German language, as well as popular books and an exhibition in Moesgard Museum.
