Summary

The Romans occupied Britain for almost four hundred years, and their influence is still all around us - in the shape of individual monuments such as Hadrians Wall, the palace at Fishbourne and the spa complex at Bath. This book breaks new ground in enabling us to visualise the changes in town and countryside brought by Roman military and civilian needs.
