Description
Britain: A New Narrative of Conquest
The Roman Conquests series explores how the Romans expanded their empire from Scotland to the Sahara Desert. This volume focuses on the conquest of Britain, drawing on the latest research and archaeological evidence. The book examines the Roman army's tactics, leadership, strategy, and equipment as they invaded and pacified the island in 43 AD. The ferocity of British resistance meant that the island was never fully subdued, requiring a significant military presence for centuries. Dr Simon Elliott analyzes the weapons, organization, and organization of the legions and their British foes, providing insight into the challenges faced by the Roman army. By studying the Roman conquest of Britain, readers can gain a deeper understanding of this pivotal moment in history.
