The Golden Age of Roman Britain, by Guy de la Bédoyère: #BookReview.
Much more archaeology has been done since this book was published in 1999, and that will inevitably render some of the observations here less certain, but the bulk of the text is clearly based on sound academic research. One thing I must question, however, is the title. It’s either favouring the wealthy landowners or perhaps it’s a bit of subtle cynicism.The introduction, however, makes it clear…
