Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall are Britain's best-known Roman frontiers but a more northerly line is also known, on and around the Gask Ridge in Perthshire, which seems to represent the earliest fortified land frontier anywhere in the Roman Empire.
Research over the last 10 years has revealed more and more about this system. In the process, it has revolutionised our picture of the Roman occupation of the north of Scotland, which now seems likely to have begun well before the time of the famous governor Agricola. Moreover, the Roman remains can now be set more firmly in the context of the pre-existing Iron Age society, to produce a more peaceful picture than expected.
This detailed account, by two scholars intimately associated with the latest research, provides an up-to-date and detailed, yet approachable, account of these early years of the Romans in Scotland.

Store description
I have been an amateur book collector for over 30 years acquiring books covering a broad knowledge & topics over the years., which now numbers between 600 to a1,000 books. Sadly due to my wife's failing health I have decided to sell my collection. I mainly collect Railway/Transport/Military/nature and a large selection books of rare and a variety of non fiction material. Whether my books are rare or old almost all are in very good/as new condition, I will endeavour to lists all books to the exact description. I am at most times free to discuss any books, although due to being a full carer I may not answer my phone straight away but if you leave a forward number I will always reply to the call. I myself am now retired, I worked in passenger transport for just a little over 45 years both in the bus & Rail Industry achieving management status for the last seventeen years of my working career on the Railway. Working in passenger transport was something that i always wanted to do and was lucky enough to have achieved a career that gave me so much enjoyment. Apart from book collecting my other main hobby is gardening which helps me relax and reflect on my busy life being a full time carer for my wife of 49 years.…
