Description
Ten chapters introduce and develop themes, as well as providing a variety of further activities, in this book that looks at the Romans in Britain. Basic understanding is tested in the "can you remember?" and "check your understanding" sections of each chapter, while source-based questions and "things to do" encourage the development of specific historical skills. Dorothy Metcalf uses a wide variety of archaeological and written sources to open a window onto the everyday world of Roman Britain. Guided through the rapid transformation of Britain from a patchwork of loosely connected tribes to a province of bustling towns linked to the world, the reader is invited to build up a picture of the merchants, town officials, gladiators and druids who inhabited this colourful world, and to explore the impact they have had on Britain through the ages.
