Synopsis
The Romans In Scotland looks at the history of the Roman army in Britain - the first of many attempts at total conquest by a stronger southern neighbour. It also looks at the changing patters of antiquarian & archaeological interest in this history & in the monuments left.
The campaigns and military installations of the late 1st Century AD are examined in some detail, while the construction & operation of the 2nd Century barrier - The Antonine Wall - are the subject of the later chapters.
First edition hardback.
Fully Illustrated with photographs, plans & maps.

External Reviews
"A fantastic breakdown of Roman activity in Scotland during the Flavian through Severan eras. I came away with a better understanding of how the frontiers were created and maintained." - Goodreads Review.
