But at the empire’s peak, tens of millions of  ordinary people coexisted in its territories—people who built the  structures, wrote the literature, and transformed the landscapes we  study today. In\u003cem\u003e Roman Bioarchaeology\u003c\/em\u003e, researchers use human  skeletal remains recovered from throughout the Roman world to portray  how individuals lived and died, spanning the empire’s vast geography and  1,000 years of ancient history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume  brings together scholarship from archaeological sites in Europe, the  Eastern Mediterranean, and Africa, featuring new and advanced scientific  approaches including DNA studies, stable isotope analysis,  paleoparasitology, paleopathology, biodistance, and more. Throughout,  contributors prioritize the ethical treatment of the deceased by  highlighting individual narratives and working with local descendants  where possible. From rural homes in Britannia to bustling cities in  Phoenicia, these essays showcase the diversity of Roman lives and  illuminate the experiences of the most vulnerable in these societies.  This book demonstrates how bioarchaeology can enrich our understanding  of many facets of life in the Roman world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003cstrong\u003eContributors:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Piers Mitchell | Mario Caric | Efthymia Nikita | Gabriele Scorrano |  Mahmoud Mardini | Serena Viva | Tracy Prowse | Kathryn E.
