The 'Small Towns' of Roman Britain

Name/Title

The 'Small Towns' of Roman Britain

Description

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.
