ROMAN BRITAIN
Historical map and guide, 5th edition
This new map and guide is a full revision of the Ordnance Survey map of
Roman Britain published in 1994. It has been completely redesigned and
incorporates advances that have been made in our knowledge of Roman military
sites, roads and place names since publication of the 1994 edition. The
National Monuments Records of English Heritage, RCAHM Scotland and RCAHM
Wales supplied the detailed Roman information that is portrayed against a
background of modern Ordnance Survey Routeplanner mapping at 1:625 000
scale.
The map, which covers the whole of Great Britain, is printed back to back as
North and South sheets and includes a list of key dates, events and
archaeological evidence. An informative text describes many aspects of Roman
life including land-use and settlement, communication, religion, military
and industrial sites, all illustrated with photographs, maps and diagrams.
Sites and museums to visit are listed together with a list of additional
reading to enhance the understanding and knowledge of life under the Roman
occupation.
