Well written, interesting, a very detailed academic-like overview of Britain when ruled over by Rome.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants a very deep dive into Hadrian’s Wall.
This book also debunks many assumptions about the early history of Britains “barbaric” rule before the Romans came. I think that was my most fascinating take-away.

Interesting history of not just the Wall, but the Roman period in Britain, the politics of Rome in relation to Britain and the demise of Roman presence on the island. Unless you are into Roman history or British history, you probably will not have a need or a desire to read this, but if you are, it was an ok book.
