JOHN WACHER - The Coming of Rome. Britain Before the Conquest.

London England, Book Club Associates, 1979. 1st BCA Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardback There have been many studies of early Roman Britain, and Mr. Wacher himself has been a prolific author in this field. The approach of this book has been to look at the basic features of Roman Britain, the cities and towns, the monuments of an urban culture, and to consider the evidence, mainly from inscriptions, of the people who worked in, or lived in, or visited Britain during the first two centuries or so of Roman rule. The author gives some judgment as to the success and influence of Romano-British society, and also the value of the province to the Roman Empire. Profusely illustrated throughout, and containing some photographs not previously published in Britain before, this book also lists some notable Roman sites to be seen, and includes a further reading list. Illustrated.
