A cornerstone of the Pelican History of England series, Roman Britain presents a comprehensive account of Britain under Roman rule, spanning from the Claudian invasion of 43 AD to the final withdrawal of Roman forces in the early fifth century. I.A. Richmond, one of the foremost Roman archaeologists of his generation, draws on decades of fieldwork and scholarship to reconstruct the military, political, and social fabric of Roman Britannia. The work details the construction of iconic fortifications such as Hadrian's Wall, the organisation of Roman legions across the province, and the gradual integration of native Celtic populations into the Roman way of life. Written with scholarly authority yet accessible prose, it remains an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to understand how Rome shaped the landscape, culture, and identity of early Britain.
