Roman forts in Britain di David J. Breeze
Typical Shire 64 page format. They're very good within their small space, but really the broad subject of the forts in Britain does need something bigger.
The Antonine Wall does not get near the attention its more famous counterpart to the south does. There are reasons for this, its not as dramatic a barrier, there's less left of it and its history was much briefer than Hadrian's Wall. However, for those who dig into its history, its no less fascinating a structure. This is an excellent introduction for the layman. it gives a background to its construction, the likely thinking of Emperor Antoninus Pius in having it built, its brief history, and the reasons for its abandonment, as well as handy tips on how to seek and see the best-preserved surviving sections. Breeze is a renowned authority on Hadrian's Wall, with several books to his credit. This book is a worthy addition to the literature on Rome's most northerly frontiers.… (altro)
