A very thorough detailed map showing many features of life in Roman Britain. Locations of Villas, Battles, Forts, Camps, Kilns and much more make this the best reference tool available at present.
I have personally passed on useful comments to archaeologists with reference to details on this map. They too are ordering copies to see the information that they are missing !

The map is pretty much what you expect of a UK touring map coloured to indicate heights (green - brown), but with the modern road information all changed to a light grey to make it less obtrusive. Roman sites are then marked in coloured symbols and words. The map is double sided with the South on one side and the North on the other, split near Kendal
The quantity of Roman information in this map is many times greater than that in the "Ancient Britain" Map, and is much clearer by virtue of the colours used. The network of Roman roads are marked in red and clearly indicate towns and cities, although many of the marked sites seem to be away from obvious roads.
It would probably better suit electronic publishing, where you could choose to switch on and off different information, to give you clearer views of what you want.
For studying Roman Britain, I think this would be a good place to start. If you need it on a wall, then buy two copies.

If you're looking for a map that gives you all the known Roman sites in a particular area, then this map will be very useful. I was slightly disappointed to discover that it can't be used as a wall poster, because Scotland & Northern England appear on the back. There is also a lot of additional information printed around the sides of the map and, although this is probably of interest to some, I would have preferred a more traditional map of the UK with less of the fashionable multimedia-style trimmings.

Not a factual representation.
As a third year archaeology student, with local knowledge of Norfolk in the Roman period. I have some misgivings about the information that is displayed as factual by this map. Read more

It's a classic!
It's great just to open up this map and get a real sense of how Roman Btitain was laid out. It's great to be able to look at where the towns were and where the roads were and all... Read more
