Webster Graham. The Roman Invasion of Britain

Routledge, 2003. — 241 p.Gives the background of Britain before the Roman invasion of 43 AD and goes on to describe the Roman forces, the personalities involved, the actual invasion - including the crucial battle on the Medway - and Claudius' triumphal entrance into Camulodunum, the British capital. The Roman conquest of Britain in AD 43 was one of the most important turning points in the history of the British Isles. It left a legacy still discernible today in the form of archaeological remains, road networks, land divisions and even language. In this text (which is part of a trilogy), now up-dated and revised, Dr Webster builds up a lively picture of Britain in the first century AD and discusses in detail the various types of evidence and the theories based upon them.
