The Romanization of Britain
This book sets out to provide a new synthesis of recent archaeological work in Roman Britain.
Archaeology from the Ploughsoil
First published in 1985, this collection of essays has proved popular for those teaching archaeological field methods. It deals with methodological problems in a general way, but also illustrated by some case studies from both Britain and the continent, from regional strategies to the intensive study of a specific site.
Pottery and the Archaeologist
Collection of research papers concerning ceramic and ceramic analysis for archaeologists.
Isurium Brigantum
A major re-examination of a key northern town in Roman Britain, providing new information about its topography and its development and that of its later landscape.
Britons and Romans
This challenging book encourages those with an interest in Roman Britain to think broadly and to engage actively in shaping the future priorities of research into the subject. The volume reconsiders many assumptions about relations between Romans and the indigenous population and the authors explore themes as diverse as: the Iron Age/Roman and Roman/Medieval transitions; Romanisation; material culture and identity; rural society; urbanism; zooarchaeology; and soldiers and civilians. Within these themes the contributors seek to break down the relative insularity of Romano-British studies, and to open it up to new external perspectives and interdisciplinary approaches.
English Heritage Book of Roman Britain
How the Roman system influenced the politics, art, religion, and general way of life of the native peoples of Britain after the Claudian invasion of AD 43. Despite the richness of archaeological, epigraphic and literary evidence, what actually occurred remains a subject of keen debate.
The Oxford Handbook of Roman Britain
This book provides a twenty-first century perspective on Roman Britain, combining current approaches with the wealth of archaeological material from the province. This volume introduces the history of research into the province and the cultural changes at the beginning and end of the Roman period. The majority of the chapters are thematic, dealing with issues relating to the people of the province, their identities and ways of life. Further chapters consider the characteristics of the province they lived in, such as the economy, and settlement patterns. This Handbook reflects the new approaches being developed in Roman archaeology, and demonstrates why the study of Roman Britain has become one of the most dynamic areas of archaeology. The book will be useful for academics and students interested in Roman Britain.

Roman Britain
After the invasion in AD 43 by the Emperor Claudius, the Romans occupied Britain for four centuries – but what exactly did this ‘occupation’ mean to the island’s inhabitants? In this classic work – widely recommended on reading lists everywhere – eminent archaeologist Martin Millett examines the latest archaeological and historical sources to help us to understand the cultural, social and economic effects of 400 years of Roman rule. He discusses: • British life before the Romans • The impact of the Roman conquest • How Celtic art and culture evolved under Roman influence • Exciting excavations of recent years and what they tell us • Religion and ritual in Roman Britain • The ultimate decline of Roman power Using over 100 photographs, plans and drawings, many never published together before, Professor Millet breaks away from the traditional historical narrative to explore the central themes of life in Roman Britain.
