Books with title Roman Britain

This title introduces readers to life in Roman Britain from a child's viewpoint. The book introduces general features of the time period, but focuses on what life was like for children, including where they lived, what they learned at school, and where they worked. The text is supported by primary source material (paintings, artefacts, quotes, etc.) that brings the past to life. A final section explains how we use historical evidence to reconstruct the past.

A colourful volume that presents the everyday life of Romans and Britons during the four hundred years of Roman occupation. Drawing on archaeological, documentary and literary sources the guide introduces a broad range of themes: the establishment and adoption of the Roman standard of living; a Roman soldier's view of his British posting; Britain's contribution to the Empire; rebellion; Constantine and the rise of Christianity; an assessment of the appearance of Britain following the Roman departure and the fate of Romanised Britons. The concise accounts include numerous facts and details and are accompanied by many photographs and reconstruction drawings.
