This book has been invaluable to me whilst studying Roman Britain at university. It has provided lots of fascinating information and led to many hours of research. Highly recommended.

As the author was one of my teachers (brilliant by the way) at university (1997-2000 leicester BSc course) i should be loyal and claim this as a triumph, but its REALLY hard going. While the research is immaculate and its certainly scholarly the language is so obtuse and the line of thought wanders so much you kind of keep wondering what the point is? Individually each chapter has its good points but taken as a whole it strikes me as a bit of a bodge job done piecemeal when other projects allow. Not worthy of the great brain David Mattingly has.
