A New History Guy de la Bédoyère An illuminating account of Britain as a Roman province, now fully updated for this edition ‘Lucid and engaging … should take pride of place on the bookshelf of specialists and non-specialists interested in Roman Britain’ Minerva This lively, authoritative account of a crucial period in Britain’s history has been revised and updated to incorporate the very latest findings and research. Guy de la Bédoyère – the popular face of Romano-British archaeological studies – puts the Roman conquest and occupation within the larger context of Romano-British society and how it functioned, thoroughly tackling the issues facing Britons after the absorption of their culture by an invading army, including the role of government and the military in the province, religion, commerce, technology and daily life. With nearly 300 illustrations, including dramatic aerial views of Roman sites, and brimming with the very latest research and discoveries, Roman Britain will delight and inform all those with an interest in this era of British history.
