Late Roman Towns in Britain

 

"This book is a reassessment of the changes that occurred in the towns of Britain in the later Roman period, around the late third, fourth and early fifth centuries A.D. It is commonly argued that these changes represent decline in the later Roman Empire but this book suggests alterniative ways of interpreting late Roman towns and demonstrates that there are more positive ways of understanding late Roman archaeology.

Beschrijving Late Roman Towns in Britain

Adam Rogers examines the late Roman phases of towns in Britain. Arguing against the interpretation that many of the monumental civic buildings were in decline or abandoned in the later Roman period, he demonstrates that they remained purposeful spaces and important centres of urban life.
