Aelfric's de Temporibus Anni
A comprehensive review of the Roman fortifications of the first two centuries in the area to the north of Hadrian's wall. I was impressed by the plentiful tables, totalling not only the benefits and drawbacks of the wall but also it's construction plan, manhours spent, garrison sizes, etc. Overall, this review stands out as a very brief but strong introduction to Rome in Scotland.
What I found missing was the political context. Though the Severian re-expansion into the north is mentioned, barely half a sentence touches on it. The Antonine and Flavian periods are covered in far greater detail, and I think if the book had restricted itself to the pre-Severian period in what it covered, it would have achieved it's goals superbly.
