Britannia: The Creation of a Roman Province

This book completely re-evaluates the evidence for, and the interpretation of, the rule of the kings of Late Iron Age Cunobelin and Verica. Within a few generations of their reigns, after one died and the other had fled, Rome’s ceremonial centres had been transformed into the magnificence of Roman towns with monumental public buildings and Britannia examines these kings’ long-lasting legacy in the creation of Britannia. Among the topics considered Examining the kings' legacy in the creation of the Roman province of Britannia, the book examines the interface of two worlds and how much each owed to the other.

[Katia M. Davis]

I really enjoyed this book. It was refreshing to read that Roman Britain may not have been as much of an invasion as had been thought. The author uses good evidence to support his belief. I recommend this book to anyone who studied Roman Britain from the 1940's to the early '90s...it is an eye opener, but completely logical when thought about. If you have never studied it, this book gives a good start to early Roman Britain without previous bias. A good read.
