This paper represents an interim report of the Burnswark Project that has utilised the techniques of battlefield archaeology to locate and accurately identify missiles across a substantial field of conflict in SW Scotland. The distribution, characteristics, dating and proposed historical context of these missiles are argued to support their use in a dramatic episode of ‘exemplary force’ by the Roman army. The magnitude of the event might be seen to be compatible with an emperor establishing his legitimacy as a military leader.

Burnswark Hill：安东尼重新征服苏格兰的开场白？

本文是 Burnswark 项目的临时报告，该项目利用战场考古学技术在苏格兰西南部的大量冲突地区定位和准确识别导弹。这些导弹的分布、特征、年代和提出的历史背景被认为是为了支持它们在罗马军队“模范武力”的戏剧性事件中的使用。事件的规模可能被视为与皇帝确立其作为军事领袖的合法性相一致。
