Roman Britain has given us an enormous number of artefacts. Yet few
books available today deal with its whole material culture as
represented by these artefacts. This introduction, aimed primarily
at students and general readers, begins by explaining the process
of identifying objects of any period or material. A series of
themed chapters, written by experts in their particular area of
interest, then discusses artefacts from the point of view of their
use. The contributors' premise is that every object was designed
for a particular purpose, which may have been to satisfy a general
need or the specific need of an individual. If the latter, the
maker, the owner and the end user may have been one and the same
person; if the former, the manufacturer had to provide objects that
others would wish to purchase or exchange. Understanding this
reveals a fascinating picture of life in Roman Britain.
