From the legionary Fortress at York to the coastal look-out towers on
the coast, and from the artisan potters of Crambeck to the brooch-makers
of Castleford, the history of Yorkshire has an indelible mark left upon
it by the Roman period. The Romans built towns, forts, roads and ports
and lived, worked and died in Yorkshire for over three centuries. Roman
Emperors even visited it.This book introduces, in an accessible way for
a non-specialist audience, the incredible archaeology that they left
behind, from beautiful and unique objects, to whole cities. Supported by
high quality illustrations throughout, this is the perfect starting
point for anybody interested in the astonishing treasures the Romans
left behind in Yorkshire.
