In this book, David Braund offers a significantly different
perspective upon the history of Roman Britain. Rather than relying
on archaeology, the author concentrates on the literary evidence,
drawing a colorful picture of the social and political context of
Roman imperialism. The study discusses Roman theories of
imperialism as well as the intellectual and political atmosphere
within which Caesar mounted his invasions of Britain in 55 and 54
B.C. Braund shows how the ideologies and power structures at work
in Rome fundamentally shaped politics and society in Roman Britain.
Thus he develops an understanding of the literary sources which
goes beyond mere translation and allows the reader insights into
this remote corner of the Roman world.
