Roman Ireland provides a fresh reconsideration of Roman influence in Ireland, highlighting the common Indo-European roots of Roman and Irish culture. It outlines the early influence of Latin on the Irish language, the Roman contribution to the shaping of Irish art and the crucial function of trade in opening new contacts between the Irish and Roman worlds.
