The Frontier area of northern England is the most important and
reliable source for archaeologists in existence. The perpetuation
of the Roman imperial ideal, the survival of classical art and
literature, and the spread of the Christian faith depended on the
strength of the Empire's frontier and the people who lived there.
In Britain these peoples represent nearly 400 years of a
cosmopolitan society with the basic elements of a true
civilisation. They had greater freedom and security and were more
literate and prosperous than at any previous time or for many
centuries after. Dr Salway's study of this area is a detailed
investigation of the Romanised part of the civilian population to
be made. He describes the people themselves and every aspect of
their background and way of life, their legal status and their
administrative system. He then examines each of the sites
individually, making special use of aerial photographs.
