"This volume is an invaluable source of current research into marginal areas not often covered by other books on Roman Britain. The essays are well written, concise and take the reader straight to the heart of the matter. This volume is an excellent addition to the existing volumes in the Blackwell Companions to British History series." Reference Reviews "The authors are leading researchers and their individual statements all contain a wealth of information and interpretation which will make the Companion a useful resource."
