Roman roads

Civitas institutions

Urban walls

Frontier mobility

Cave deposits, monuments, weapons, inscriptions, fortifications, churches, ports, and elite graves are more visible than women, children, farmers, miners, fishers, craftspeople, migrants, soldiers, captives, enslaved or dependent people, and rural households. Evidence gaps must not be filled with ethnic purity, nationalist continuity, foreign-builder, lost-civilization, or simple population-replacement narratives.
