The Romans occupied Britain for almost four hundred years, and
their influence is still all around us - in the shape of individual
monuments such as Hadrians Wall, the palace at Fishbourne and the
spa complex at Bath, as well as in subtler things such as the
layout and locations of ancient towns such as London, Canterbury
and Colchester, and the routes of many major roads. Yet this
evidence can only suggest a small proportion of the effect that the
Romans had on the landscape of Britain. A Portrait of Roman Britain
breaks new ground in enabling us to visualise the changes in town
and countryside brought by Roman military and civilian needs. Using
clear, well-documented descriptions, John Wacher answers questions
such as: Were Roman towns as neat and tidy as they are often
represented? How much woodland was needed to fuel the bath houses
of Roman Britain? How much land did a Roman cavalry regiment
require for its horses?
