The most authoritative history of Roman Britain ever published for the general reader.

Includes chapters on: the Celts, the invasions of Julius Caesar and Claudius, the Romanization of Britain, Hadrian's Wall, life in a Roman Villa, and much more. The book includes timecharts, a who's who, a glossary and a list of places to visit.

The special aim of this series is to provide serious and yet challenging books, not buried under a mountain of detail. Each volume is intended to provide a picture and an appreciation of its age, as well as a lucid outline, written by an expert who is keen to make available and alive the findings of modern research.
