Quote:Peter Connolly had illustrated one of these in his 1988 Tiberius Claudius Maximus. The Cavalryman (spread on pages 16-17), ..... so the split stable/barrack identification there came after (and was indeed derived from) the realisation of the significance of Dormagen, largely due to the excavations at Krefeld-Gellep. There is more on this in a paper by Sebastian Sommer* who attributes the popularisation of the split stable/barrack to Junkelmann and Connolly.
