The vast networks of roads throughout the Roman Empire were vital to the expansion of Roman culture, power and influence across the world and one of their principal uses was the transportation of the Legions to strategic bases in the most direct way possible. This book details the planning, construction and maintenance of these road networks, and discusses the different types of Roman road found in areas of Britain, and their many uses. With photographs of surviving roads in Britain and a list of where they are still in use, "Roman Roads" is a perfect introduction to a Roman legacy that exists to this day.

  • A small book that gives a good introduction to the subject.

    I expected this to be a much thicker and more informative book, though the price and description were not misleading. The treatment is superficial. If you know nothing of the Romans in Britain, this serves as a useful introduction but you want an in-depth coverage of the UK Roman Road network, you need to look further.
