Abstract	This session explores one of the Late Antique world's most important frontiers, that which divided the Roman Empire from barbarian Europe. The papers explore the frontier between Roman and barbarian both as a negotiated cultural idea (Hart) and as a physical border (Salvo and Tonev). The session also considers the role of conservation in preserving these frontier regions in the modern world (Lombardini)
