'The toga was often to be seen among them': with these words the Roman Historian Tacitus describes the Britons adopting the Roman way of life at an early stage of their long history as Roman provincials.
Peter Salway bol britský historik, ktorý sa špecializoval na rímsku Britániu. Jeho dielo sa zameriava na život a spoločnosť počas rímskeho obdobia na Britských ostrovoch, pričom detailne skúma politické, sociálne a ekonomické aspekty. Salwayov štýl je známy svojou erupciou a starostlivým skúmaním historických prameňov, čo čitateľom ponúka hlboký vhľad do tohto fascinujúceho obdobia britských dejín.


'The toga was often to be seen among them': with these words the Roman Historian Tacitus describes the Britons adopting the Roman way of life at an early stage of their long history as Roman provincials.
Reissued in new covers, this is the first volume in the Oxford History of England. It draws on literary sources and advances in archaeology, charting life in Roman Britain from the first Roman invasion under Julius Caesar to the final collapse of the Roman Empire in the west. It examines question such as: how much did the Britons adopt the Roman way of life during their long history as Roman provincials?; was Britian an integral part of the Roman Empire?; and what was its own distictive character?
