The invasion of AD 43 began the Romans' settlement of Britain. The
Romans brought with them a level of expertise that raised iron
production in Britain from small localised sites to an enormous
industry. Rome thrived on war and iron was vital to the Roman
military establishment as well as to the civil population. In this
pioneering work, David Sim combines current ideas of iron-making in
Roman times with experimental archaeology. The Roman Iron Industry
in Britain stretches far beyond dry theory and metallurgy alone; it
covers all the stages of this essential process, from prospecting
to distribution, and describes the whole cycle of iron production.
Photographs and line drawings illustrate the text well enough to
allow keen readers to reproduce the artefacts for themselves.
Fascinating to the general reader and all those with an interest in
Roman history, this book is invaluable to students of archaeology
and professional archaeologists alike. Dr David Sim is an
archaeologist who has combined studies of the technology of the
Roman Empire with his skills as a blacksmith.
