Book Synopsis
This text charts the history of the Roman province of Britannia from the conquest of the 1st century AD to the end of Roman administration in the 5th century. Although almost swept away by the Anglo-Saxons, it shows the extent to which the Roman legacy played a part in the development of Britain.
