Did the Romans survey the lands that they conquered? This study
puts forward evidence in support of the idea that geometric
patterns can be discerned in the angles of road alignments and the
position of forts and towns to suggest that the Romans surveyed
Britain shortly after the invasion. With lots of maps and diagrams,
Ferrar and Richardson combine cartography, history and mathematics
to argue for the use of surveying and centuration in Britain, going
on to suggest how and why this was carried out. Detailed
examinations of the geometric landscape of The Mickle Ditch in
Manchester, and of the Antonine and Hadrian's Wall are included.
