Roman Forts in Britain 

The Roman military remains in Britain are of outstanding importance, and in the last 25 years astonishing discoveries have been made, particularly the Vindolanda tablets, which tell something of everyday life in a frontier fort for the first time.

Focusing on auxiliary forts from the second century onwards, Paul Bidwell looks at the development of understanding of Roman remains over four centuries and the earliest excavation. He examines the plans and functions of forts and what recent excavations reveal about the everyday life of officers and men – and of women and children. He then details what the study of finds can tell about the supply system of the Roman army and how forts were adapted during the decline of the empire.
