Omschrijving

The British Museum's new introductory guide to Roman Britain combines an informative text with first-class design and is illustrated with plentiful artefacts from the museum's collections. Throughout the book the emphasis is on cultural interaction and change; showing the impact of the Roman presence; but also British survivals; the book starts; perhaps unusually for general guides of this kind; with a section on pre-Roman Britain; and ends with a chapter on Britons after Rome. In between we learn about the military; the new literate culture introduced by Rome; about the impact of Rome on the rural economy; and on life in the new towns; as well as about religion. Constant reference to archaeological finds and sites gives a sense of place; and also of regional variation.
