| Publisher Description: Taking account of new discoveries, new research, and with added illustrative material, Guy de la Bedoyere presents the history of the development of Romano-British towns in the aftermath of the invasion of AD43 until their decline in the 3rd and 4th centuries. He discusses the conditions under which towns developed, the public buildings that were constructed, and improvements in urban housing which together allowed a thriving urban economy to flourish. |
