Extract
The important excavations conducted at Numantia by Dr. Schulten represent one of those rare cases in which the work of the archaeologist is brought into direct connexion with that of the historian. The patient and methodical exploration of the Celtiberian stronghold and the Roman siege-works surrounding it has yielded results which are not interesting merely to the specialist in Roman military history, but add largely to our knowledge of an important historical event and furnish a topographical commentary to our literary records. In view of these facts it is somewhat surprising to find that in a recent English history of the Roman republic, both detailed and elaborate, Dr. Schulten's work is ignored and the site of Numantia is said to be only known by conjecture.
