Archaeology of Roman Britain Book

A thorough, illustrated guide to the numerous remains of Britains one-time Roman occupiers, many of which have become part of Britains present-day landscape. For example, a few of the uniquely straight roads that link todays British cities lie directly over ancient Roman roads. Many of the camps, fortresses & frontier works of the Romans, such as Hadrians Wall, boldly mark a Roman presence, while a little digging often reveals the riches of this bygone era. Contents: roads, camps, forts, towns, villas, temples, tombs, coins, inscriptions, pottery, lighthouses, brooches, weapons, Samian ware & much more.
