Oxford Illustrated History of Roman Britain - Peter Salway - Hardcover

I have just managed to finish this lengthy volume. It has taken me a whole month and immense willpower to complete it. The author tries hard to give a detailed account of the historical events and the everyday life in Roman Britain. However, I agree with previous reviewers that he often loses focus. He spends far too much time either talking about events on the Continent or discussing minute details. He feels, for example, the need to mention every single governor of Britain whose name has survived to us, even when there is no substantial information about him. Another example is his extensive discussion of the Fenlands, despite the fact that the area was rather peripheral in the history of Roman Britain. Salway's writing is equally problematic. It is often tedious and laborious. In the end, the reader ends up feeling quite disorientated, burdened with too much detail, and, quite frankly, disinterested. Hence, despite the author's undisputed expertise on the subject, the book offers much less than anticipated.
