Roman Lincolnshire

Revised edition 1992. This book deals with the background to the Roman invasion of Lincolnshire and the results of the brief military occupation. The effects of the Roman invasion on society in the area - the distribution of towns and rural settlements, roads and canals, industries including the salt industry on the coast, trade and religion - all are discussed in separate chapters. Special attention is given to the city of Lincoln, one of the few Roman coloniae in Britain. The study concludes with an account of the collapse of Roman rule and its effect on the region. The book is fully illustrated with photographs, drawings and maps.

This revised edition is a reprint of the 1970 edition, with an extensive introduction by Dr Whitwell, taking into consideration research and excavation since 1970. It includes a new map of the Roman city of Lincoln and an updated map of Roman Lincolnshire.
