First words

Roman Britain is the first volume of a series planned to form an intelligent and consecutive guide to the development of English Society in all its aspect from the Roman invasion to the outbreak of the First World War.

Editorial note.

During this century the subject of Roman Britain has grown, and grown so large that all aspects of it cannot be covered in a small volume.

Author's preface.

The earliest political connexion of Rome with these islands came so suddenly that it was almost the first connexion of any kind between the Roman world and Britain.

Chapter one. Military history.

Disambiguation notice

Be aware that Ian A. Richmond wrote two books by this title: one for the Britain in Pictures series (published 1947) and this one, for the Pelican History of England (1st pub. 1955). (The first is listed as a further reference in the bibliography of the second). Please discriminate between the two, do not combine, and do not add either book to the other's series.
