Roman Legionary fortress conference - Graham Sumner - 08-14-2016 This event in Manchester should be of interest Producing for the Legion or Production by the Legion?   A Day Conference on Saturday, 24 September, 2016 Cross Street Chapel, Cross Street, Manchester Roman legionary fortresses and their surrounding civilian towns were huge centres of trade and production for their provinces. But who was producing and for whom? Were the civilian towns just service providers for the legions or were the legions tapping into a “manufacturing base” that was developing amongst the civilians? On the other hand, was legionary production limited to the area inside the fortress defences or was the legion using space out in the civilian settlements or beyond producing for its own needs?
