The Secret History of the Roman Roads of Britain

Book Description
There have been many books on Britain's Roman roads, but none have considered in any depth their long-term strategic impact. Mike Bishop shows how the road network was vital not only in the Roman strategy of conquest and occupation, but influenced the course of British military history during subsequent ages. The author starts with the pre-Roman origins of the network (many Roman roads being built over prehistoric routes) before describing how the Roman army built, developed, maintained and used it. Then, uniquely, he moves on to the post-Roman history of the roads. He shows how they were crucial to medieval military history (try to find a medieval battle that is not near one) and the governance of the realm, fixing the itinerary of the royal progresses. Their legacy is still clear in the building of 18th century military roads and even in the development of the modern road network. Why have some parts of the network remained in use throughout?The text is supported with clear maps and photographs. Most books on Roman roads are concerned with cataloguing or tracing them, or just dealing with aspects like surveying. This one makes them part of military landscape archaeology.

Book Description
Based on a version published in 2007 by the Council for British Archaeology - Research Report series RR 151(ISBN: 978 1 902771 66 3).This book outlines the results of a two-year project supported by English Heritage and the Leverhulme Trust into the characterisation, mapping and assessment of later Iron Age and Roman rural settlement across England. Utilising data from every local authority in England, it outlines a framework for the study of Iron Age and Roman rural settlement. Rural landscapes, where the majority of the population lived, were a key arena of social change in Roman Britain, but previous research has been focused principally on high-status villas, which form only a small fraction of the known sites. This has led to major biases and gaps in our understanding of the complex rural societies of the period. Mapping the information from a systematic national survey of the evidence, this volume provides a guide to major regional and chronological trends in rural settlement pattern, form and function. This book is aimed primarily at students and practitioners of archaeology and heritage management at all levels. Based on extensive academic research, it is envisaged as a book with wide appeal to readers interested in Roman Britain, regional landscape history, heritage management and in approaches to the early evolution of agricultural landscapes.A catalogue record for the original version is available from the British library.
