Revell's research focuses on the inter linkages between identity,ideology and imperialism,and their expression through material culture. [4] Recent research has looked at Roman imperialism in the Spanish provinces and Britain. Her 2009 monograph Roman Imperialism and Local Identities was described as "refreshing and theoretically informed perspective" and an "important step forward for studies of Romanisation", [5] and was widely reviewed. [6] [7] Revell's 2013 monograph Ways of Being Roman explored the relationship between Roman identities and daily practice as they were experienced through public architecture in the provinces,described as "a valuable overview of current identity studies as applied to the western Roman provinces". [8] Revell's research has also explored gender, family and the life-course [9] within the western provinces. She co-edited the 2016 Oxford Handbook of Roman Britain with Martin Millett and Alison Moore.

Romanization or Latinization,in the historical and cultural meanings of both terms,indicate different historical processes,such as acculturation,integration and assimilation of newly incorporated and peripheral populations by the Roman Republic and the later Roman Empire. The terms were used in ancient Roman historiography and traditional Italian historiography until the Fascist period,when the various processes were called the "civilizing of barbarians".

The historiography of Romanisation is the study of the methods,sources,techniques,and concepts used by historians when examining the process of Romanisation. The Romanisation process affected different regions differently,meaning that there is no singular definition for the concept,however it is generally defined as the spread of Roman civilisation and culture throughout Italy and the provinces as an indication of a historical process,such as acculturation,integration and assimilation. Generally,the Romanisation process affected language,economics,cultural structures,family norms and material culture. Rome introduced its culture mainly through conquest,colonisation,trade,and the resettlement of retired soldiers.
