The 'Small Towns' of Roman BritainDescription
The Small Towns of Roman Britain is the companion volume to John Wacher's "The Towns of Roman Britain" published in 1975. The text covers 5% of the best-known sites, ranging from those that most closely approached the concept of the true city, such as Carlisle and Water Newton, to those that always remained unfortified, such as Bourton-on-the-Water and Braintree. Each site is accompanied by a specially prepared plan and, where the archaeological interpretation is aided, they are illustrated by an aerial photograph. The first and last sections are devoted to a general review of the subject. Extensive notes and a comprehensive bibliography complete this survey that untaps much vital new information for Romano-British history.Lexicon
