About this listen

This illuminating account of Britain as a Roman province sets the Roman conquest and occupation of the island within the larger context of Romano-British society and how it functioned.

The author first outlines events from the Iron Age period immediately preceding the conquest in AD 43 to the emperor Honorius's advice to the Britons in 410 to fend for themselves. He then tackles the issues facing Britons after the absorption of their culture by an invading army, including the role of government and the military in the province, religion, commerce, technology, and daily life. For this revised edition, the text and bibliography have been updated to reflect the latest discoveries and research in recent years.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Rather dry but full of insight and a lot of new interpretations of what we think we already know.

A jarring note for me as a Cumbrian…he places Maryport in Northumberland.

There is a lot of interesting stuff in here but this is one of those rare books that should have been read by the author. The narrator sounds like an accountant reading the phone book. I couldn't finish it.
