Roman Invasion of Britain

The author gives the background of Britain before the invasion and goes on to describe the Roman forces, the personalities involved, the actual invasion-including the crucial battle on the Medway - and Claudius' triumphal entrance into Camulodunum, the British capital. The Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43 was one of the most important turning points in the history of the British Isles. It left a legacy still discernible today in the form of archaeological remains, road networks, land divisions and even language. In his much acclaimed trilogy, now updated and revised, the author builds up a fascinating and lively picture of Britain in the first century AD and discusses in detail the various types of evidence and the theories based upon them.
