Opis

'Ruling Roman Britain' locates the island in the broader context of Roman imperial thought and action from the late republic and Julius Caesar to the end of the first century AD. In this book, David Braund offers a significantly different perspective upon the history of Roman Britain. He concentrates upon the literary evidence.

Recenzje

'Ruling Roman Britain is a very readable discussion of a complex area, offering fresh insights into well trodden ground.' - Cathy Mercer, JACT Review

'Braund shows how uncritically the evidence of coins has been employed in historical reconstructions that rest on coincidences of name and assumptions about the territorial base of British kings.' - Miriam Griffin, History Today
