Roman Yorkshire

The county of Yorkshire in England was part of the Roman Empire for about 340 years and the remains of the period are all around us to this day. They range from the Roman fortress walls at York to the sites of country villas and humbler farmsteads. The region's museums are full of Roman objects from fine sculpture to the pottery and metalwork used in daily life. Place-names like Catterick and Doncaster remind many of us that we still live where the Romans once set up camp.
Fully illustrated in colour and mono, the book covers topics such as, the environment and landscape of the county, the search for Roman Yorkshire, Romans and natives before the conquest, The roman conquest of the Yorkshire region and many more.
