Question:

Using the example of Vindolanda, describe daily life in a Roman provincial fort and the discuss the process of Romanization in the provinces.  To what extent was Romanization the imposition of Roman customs on non-Roman peoples, or was it more of a cultural blending.

Directions:

As with all historical writing, the more specific evidence you can use to support your argument, the more persuasive it will be.  It’s also perfectly valid to note that changes may occur over time (Romanization is more of an imposition in one century and a blending in another) and circumstances may arise that affect your conclusions.
