Roman Britain, first published in 1972, gives the young reader a
vivid impression of the British Isles immediately preceding, during
and after the Roman occupation, which lasted for 400 years. Using a
selection of extracts, both historical and imaginative, it offer a
suitably comprehensive account of Roman Britain: the campaigns
fought to subdue it, the military and civil government established
to govern it, relations between the Imperial administration and the
natives, and the departure of the legions to fight elsewhere in the
Empire. Selections of poetry by John Masefield, W.H. Auden, Rudyard
Kipling and A.E. Housman are included, together with prose extracts
from Bede, Tacitus, Hilaire Belloc, Henry Treece, Alfred Duggan,
Rudyard Kipling. Physically compact, Roman Britain encourages young
classicists and historians to engage imaginatively with the
subject, whilst also supplying ample opportunity for more detailed
discussion and further reading.
