The Towns of Roman Britain

This edition has been rewritten and re-illustrated to take account of recent excavations and new interpretations. It covers the origin, development, public and private buildings, fortifications, character and final demise of each of 21 major towns of the Romano-British province.

There is nothing to match this book as a scholarly yet readable survey of a massive subject in single volume.
–Classical Views

This book, with its clean prose, excellent illustrations and fascinating story, makes a major contribution to scholarhsip, while remaining eminently attractive to the general reader..
