Roman Britain to vibrant life."-- "Country Life"

Sunday Times"
"A delightful trip from Rome to Hadrian's Wall--in C.E. 130. Great
fun for anyone with even a slight knowledge of Roman and English
history and geography--or those curious about them."-- "Kirkus
Reviews (starred)"
"An artful combination of history, archeology, and the
imagination."--Mary Beard "New York Review of Books"
"Erudite and fascinating. Dear reader, if you live like me in some
long liberated colony of one or the other, consult this fascinating
volume for a guide not merely to its physical relics but to its
meanings and its attitudes, which may perhaps be your own. If not,
read the book anyway to find what your destiny has missed."--Jan
Morris "The New York Times Book Review"
