Description
The Eagle and the Bear: A New History of Roman Scotland For over three centuries, the people of North Britain faced the might of Rome, resulting in some of the most extraordinary archaeology of the ancient world. This new history of Roman Scotland explores the complex and often tumultuous interaction between the world's first superpower and the peoples who lived north of Hadrian's Wall. The book offers thought-provoking re-assessments of many aspects of the story of the Romans in Scotland, from the loss of the IXth Legion and the reasons for building and maintaining Hadrian's Wall, to considering what spurred at least four Roman emperors to personally visit the edge of the empire. With reference to the latest research and featuring all the key sites, this book provides a fresh perspective on a fascinating period of history. With its richly illustrated pages, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Roman Scotland.
