ROMAN BRITAIN

The 400 year occupation of Britain by the Romans is still the subject of

much interest and continually emerging material. Roman Britain by David

Shotter offers a concise introduction to this period, drawing on the wealth

of recent scholarship to explain the progress of the Romans and their

objectives in conquering Britain. Key topics discussed include:

• The Roman conquest of Britain

• The evolution of the frontier in the north

• The infrastructure the Romans put in place

• Economy and Society in Roman Britain

• The place of religion in Roman Britain.

Revised throughout to take account of recent research, this second edition

includes an expanded bibliography and a number of new plates that illus-

trate the various aspects of the Roman occupation of Britain.

David Shotter is Professor Emeritus in Roman Imperial History at the

University of Lancaster. His many books include Rome and Her Empire

(2002), Tiberius Caesar (2nd edition, 2004), Augustus Caesar (2nd edition,

2005) and The Fall of the Roman Republic (2nd edition, 2005).
