Description

Reading Roman Inscriptions by John Rogan provides a unique insight into life in Roman Britain. With hundreds of inscriptions found on tombstones in museums across the country, these texts offer a wealth of information about the Romans' presence in the region. However, many of these inscriptions are written in Latin and feature abbreviations that can make them difficult to decipher for those without a basic understanding of the language. This book offers a solution, providing readers with the tools and knowledge needed to read and understand Roman inscriptions. By learning a few key rules and formulae, anyone can become proficient at reading these inscriptions and uncovering the stories they tell about life in Roman Britain.
