Description
Discover Britain's Roman Heritage: A Unique Cultural Synthesis For nearly four centuries, Britain was a province on the outer edge of the Roman Empire, developing a distinctively Romano-British culture and way of life. This book presents Britain's Roman heritage in an accessible and attractive way, using archaeological evidence, ancient written sources, and the latest research on surviving artefacts. Beautiful new photography brings to life the diversity of lifestyles, experiences, and cultures that existed in Roman Britain, from the monumental bronze head of Emperor Hadrian to hoards of stunning gold and silver. The legacy of this unique cultural synthesis is still visible today in British landscapes, architecture, art, and society. Written by curators of Romano-British antiquities at the British Museum, Ralph Jackson and Richard Hobbs, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into Britain's Roman past.
