Synopsis
This illustrated book presents a history of Roman Britain for the general reader. The narrative starts before the invasions of Julius Caesar, and finishes in the 5th century AD, with the end of Roman rule and the subsequent collapse of society in Britain. Based on the latest research, the book examines every aspect of life in Roman Britain, from the first Roman contacts, through the conquest, the Imperial crisis and recovery, to Britain and the world in the fifth century. In addition to the chronological narrative, there are separate thematic chapters on the economy, religion and society, and the historical geography of town and country - all seen in the context of the wider Roman world. The conflicts, settlements, emperors and personalities of Roman Britain are all depicted. As well as showing the classic examples of Romano-British archaeology, there are illustrations of recent discoveries never before published. Peter Salway is the author of "Roman Britain".
