Editorial Reviews
Review
‘For those who teach courses on Roman Britain, or as students require easy access to source material alluded to in the main-stream textbooks, this handy compendium, encompassing literary, epigraphic and numismatic material, will be especially welcome’ – Bulletin of the Institute of Archaeology
‘Its extensive coverage of geography and people, political and military history, and especially religion, government, commerce and society, its many inscriptions and coin illustrations, and up-dated bibliography, all combine to make this collection much more than simply ‘convenient’ and it remains, moreover, within a student’s purchasing power.’ – Greece & Rome, Volume 43
