Roman Britain by John Wacher
From Julius Caesar's invasion in AD55 to the unexpected end of Roman rule and the collapse of society in the early fifth century, Roman Britain played a key part in the Roman Empire and the effects of occupation were profound and long-lasting. John Wacher's book begins with a study of the late Iron Age Britain, followed by an examination of the effects of warfare on it in the Roman period. The core of the book explores the day-to-day work and leisure of the population, with further chapters on superstitions and beliefs, and the pressures that caused the minor collapse of Roman Britain.
