First published in 1986, this book is an authoritative collection of the major sources for Roman Britain. It incorporates not only extracts from the main literary sources - Caesar, Tacitus, Dio Cassius, Ammianus, Bede, Gildas and Zosimus - but a substantial collection of inscriptions and coins. In this new edition translations of the most important of the Vindolanda tablets - published since the first edition appeared - have been added; and the epigraphic references have been updated and new material added, including inscribed rings, tiles and other items from all around the country.
