More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The vast empire created by the Romans remains one of the outstanding achievements of history. This text assesses the impact of the invasion of AD 43 on Iron-Age Britain and surveys the effect of Roman culture on this remote province up to and beyond the end of the military occupation. The process of Romanisation in town and country, in the arts, architecture and religion, is not, however, viewed in isolation, but in terms of Britain's place in the empire as a whole. This study, written by authors with an experience of the Romano-British collections of The British Museum, provides a synthesis of this important period.
About the Author
Dr. T.W. Potter was in charge of the British Museum's Romano-British collections from 1978, and was Keeper of the Department of Prehistoric and Romano-British Antiquities from 1995 until his death at the beginning of 2000. He was the author of more than fifteen books and around a hundred papers on many aspects of Roman archaeology, and had conducted numerous fieldwork and excavation projects in Britain, Italy and Algeria. Dr Catherine Johns has been a curator of the Romano-British collections in the British Museum since 1967. She has researched, taught and published extensively on Roman art and artefacts, especially on jewellery and silverware.

Format:Paperback
This book, well informed, very clear and useful is, in my opinion, the best introduction to the history and archaeology of the roman Britannia.
Format:Paperback
This is a very scholarly and fascinating series of studies of different aspects of life in England during the Roman occupation.
What it lacks is a narrative - an overall account of the development of life that could have been achieved by bringing the aspects together
