Roman Britain by Malcolm Todd

Description

Malcolm Todd’s incisive study of the Roman province of Britannia charts its history from the conquest of the first century AD, through its heyday in the fourth century to the end of Roman administration in the early fifth century. Drawing upon the latest historical and archeological evidence, he outlines the new developments in law, agriculture, urbanization, coinage, manufacturing industry, art and architecture which the Romans instigated in Britain. Although almost swept away by the Anglo-Saxon conquest, Malcolm Todd demonstrates the extent to which the Roman legacy played a vital part in the development of medieval and modern Britain.
