The History Press Ltd Roman Gloucestershire
This long-awaited new work offers an examination of the area now known as Gloucestershire in the later Iron Age and Roman periods. The last substantial book to consider this area and period was published in 1981; much has been discovered in the intervening years and, here, Tim Copeland showcases and explores the latest discoveries and theory. The county and the area bordering it boast many settlements of major importance including Cirencester, Gloucester and the remarkable collection of Cotswold villas at Chedworth and Woodchester. However, as this book illustrates, numerous smaller and lesser known Roman settlements were of importance to the whole landscape, both economically and socially.

The History Press Ltd Akeman Street: Moving Through Iron Age and Roman Landscapes
This book examines the role of Akeman Street, the Roman road stretching from St Albans to Cirencester, in a unique and unusual way, choosing to look not at the technology of the Roman road, as more traditional studies do, but rather to look at the 'human' aspect of the road, by examining its effect on the peoples of the surrounding landscape. Tim Copeland looks at the people who would have travelled this road, what effect these travellers and the road itself had on the settlements and countryside through which Akeman Street passed and how the changing history of Roman Britain from its beginnings in the first century to its end in the fourth was echoed in the story of this most Roman of constructions.

The History Press Ltd The Cotswold Way: Archaeological Walking Guides
The Cotswold Way crosses some of the most densely populated and varied landscapes from the each period of the past. The route also has some nationally important archaeological sites along, behind and in front of it. This book introduces the serious trail walker or the local ‘single-stretch’ day rambler to the types of archaeological monuments along the Cotswold Way route. It then follows each of the six sections of the route describing the individual sites and their background along the trail. For those who wish to explore the Cotswold plateau behind the route there will be recommended archaeological walks, and for each type of walker the ‘archaeological’ panoramas in front of the Cotswold Escarpment are identified and explained.
