Romans in BritainDescription
Romans in Britain examines why the Roman occupation of Britain was the longest colonial war in history. The book asks why did it happen at all - and reasons that the necessity for invasion was to prevent the growth of a strong league of Celtic States that were threatening to destabilise occupied Gaul. Documented and illustrated this is an account of the facts as we know them, and a consideration of how the Romans have influenced every aspect of our lives, architecture, food, language, law, and religion.Lexicon
