Paperback. Condition: New. The purpose of this book is to take what we think we know about the Roman Conquest of Britain from historical sources, and compare it with the archaeological evidence, which is often contradictory. Archaeologists and historians all too often work in complete isolation from each other and this book hopes to show the dangers of neglecting either form of evidence. In the process it challenges much received wisdom about the history of Roman Britain.Birgitta Hoffmann tackles the subject by taking a number of major events or episodes (such as Caesar's incursions, Claudius' invasion, Boudicca's revolt), presenting the accepted narrative as derived from historical sources, and then presenting the archaeological evidence for the same. The result of this innovative approach is a book full of surprising and controversial conclusions that will appeal to the general reader as well as those studying or teaching courses on ancient history or archaeology.

Paperback. Condition: New. 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.

Pen and Sword Books, Barnsley, 2013. VII,222,(16)p. ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings. Hard bound with dust wrps. Initials stamp, date and personal library mark on free endpaper. Nice copy. ??Few of us are of necessity true generalists and it can be argues that the level of information is now such, that it is pretty impossible for one person to keep up with everything that is written on all fields of Roman Britain. Perhaps this is one reason why there are now so few detailed general accounts of Roman Britain of similar depth to those written by Sheppard Frere ? or Peter Salway? ?(p.4). Whilst conscious of the pitfalls of the endeavour, Birgitta Hoffmann has not been deterred from accomplishing another, more up-to-date, account of Roman Britain, even if with more modest aims and not trying to rival the length and level of detail of the cited works. H.?s thematic scope is much wider than the title implies. Rather than being focused on the Roman invasion of the island, this is a military history of Britain, covering half a millennium, from Caesar?s expedition to the aftermath of the end of Roman administration in the fifth century. Indeed, as Roman Britain was just a small part of a vast empire, impossible to understand in isolation, one would wish for others to follow her example by expanding the focus to cover the Roman Empire as a whole, with archaeology playing a prominent part.? (E.W. SAUER in Britannia, 2015, p.435).
