Roman Britain: A Sourcebook has established itself as the only
comprehensive collection of source material on the subject. It
incorporates literary, numismatic and epigraphic evidence for the
history of Britain under Roman rule, as well as translations of
major literary sources.
This new edition includes not only recently discovered material,
but also the texts of Caesar 's commentaries on his expeditions to
Britain in 55 and 54 BC, as well as relevant sections of Tacitus
biography of his father-in-law, former governor of Britain. The
inclusion of these pivotal texts, which provide the most detailed
account of the Romans campaigns in Britain, significantly underlies
the volume 's usefulness to all students of Roman Britain.
Though most of the material is arranged chronologically, there
are also thematic sections on geography, religion and social and
economic activity. Each section is prefaced by an introductory
note, and the inclusion of illustrations and maps enhances the
attractiveness of this updated collection as a teaching tool and a
work of reference.
