Roman Towns in Britain

Today, Britain's Roman towns survive in numerous different forms: from the earthworks of small roadside settlements in Lincolnshire, to the unending new discoveries from deep beneath London's busy modern streets, and the great ruins at Leicester and Wroxeter. They bear witness to Britain's first period as a single political, social and economic entity, and they helped form the framework modern Britain is still built around.

Historian and archaeologist Guy de la Bdoyre has presented a Radio 4 and a BBC2 series on Roman Britain. He is also the regular Roman expert on Channel 4's Time Team. He has written twelve books on all aspects of Roman Britain and the Roman world, six of which have been published by The History Press.
