Under Another Sky: Journeys in Roman Britain – Charlotte Higgins

Charlotte Higgins tours different regions of Britain to visit key Roman sites and talks about the related Roman (and ‘British’) history, the archaeological and documentary evidence and literature, plus the ‘rediscovery’ and interpretation in the modern era. It sounds a bit dry, but it’s actually a really easy read. Fascinating too.

A good birthday present from Phil 🙂
