Description
Roman Britain: A Very Short Introduction by Peter Salway For over four centuries, Britain was an integral part of the Roman Empire. This period began long before the Conquest in 43 AD and continued after the final break with Roman rule. Peter Salway explores key issues from this time, including identity and literacy, and examines the events that shaped society in Roman Britain. Salway covers the period from Julius Caesar's first forays into Britain to the later Roman Empire, providing a thoughtful consideration of the aftermath of Roman rule. The new edition includes updates based on recent research, looking at issues of ethnicity, "Britishness", and post-colonialism, as well as alternative theories about the end of the Roman period in Britain. This book offers a fresh perspective on Roman Britain, drawing parallels with other periods and themes, including the modern experience of empires and national stereotypes.
