Winner of Military History Monthly's 2017 Book of the Year Award
The Classis Britannica was the Roman regional fleet controlling and
protecting the waters around the British Isles - in other words,
Britain's first-ever navy. For over 200 years it played a key role
in the northern frontiers of the Roman Empire: it helped to
establish the province of Britannia and assisted in Roman military
campaigns, as well as controlling the continental coast through to
the Rhine Delta. Outside of war, the Classis Britannica also
offered vital support for the civilian infrastructure of Roman
Britain, assisting in administration, carrying out major building
and engineering projects, and running industry. Later, its
mysterious disappearance in the mid-third century ad would
contribute to Britain finally leaving the Empire 150 years later.
In Sea Eagles of Empire, acclaimed historian Simon Elliott tells
its story for the very first time.
