Seeing Roman Britain
Name/Title
Seeing Roman BritainDescription
From the Scottish lowlands to the chalk cliffs of Dover, the Romans have left many impressive traces of their 500-year occupation of mainland Britain. Their roads criss-cross the landscape, and the names of their towns survive in modern cities. This is a personal account of the author's 3,500-mile journey around the best-known ancient sites and highways. In addition to describing the monuments and excavations accessible to present-day visitors, he provides a scholarly and imaginative reconstruction of Roman life and culture, together with 8 maps and 58 photos of places and artifacts. A table of the chief historical events charts the rise and fall of Roman influence.Category
