Download English Heritage Book of Roman Towns in Britain Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Before the Roman conquest there were few settlements in Britain that could properly be described as towns and their rapid growth was one of the first effects of the invasion of AD 43. This book traces the process of urbanization and provides answers to questions about how Roman towns grew and functioned: why towns are sited where they are, who lived in them, what services and facilities they provided, how they were organized, and their role in trade, industry and economy. Roman towns, with their impressive public buildings on a scale not seen before in Britain, must have had a great impact on the native population. They have attracted attention ever since and a vast amount of evidence for the Roman towns, many of which lie beneath modern British cities, has been recovered. This book draws together as much of this information as possible to present a picture of life in the Roman towns of Britain. With over 100 maps, plans, reconstructions and photographs, this is the complete companion to the Roman Towns in Britain - whether you wish to study the sites before or after a visit, or whether you are simply an armchair archaeologist.

This book provides a twenty-first century perspective on Roman Britain, combining current approaches with the wealth of archaeological material from the province. This volume introduces the history of research into the province and the cultural changes at the beginning and end of the Roman period.

Download Book of Roman York Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The historic city of York owes its origins to the Roman ninth legion who built a fortress on the banks of the river Ouse in AD 71. In the second century York became the site of a major urban settlement and later acquired the status of colonia. The Emperor Septimius Severus died there in 211 and Constantine the Great was acclaimed there. This book describes the history of the fortress and town from their foundations until the early fifth century when Britain ceased to be part of the Roman Empire.
