Synopsis
Rome's power was under constant challenge. Nowhere was this truer than in Britain, Rome's remotest and most recalcitrant province. From the beginning to the end, a succession of idealists, chancers and reactionaries fomented dissent and rebellion. This book covers eleven rebellions and explains why Britain was a hot-bed of dissent.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. DJ is price-clipped.; 224pp, illustrated. Roman Britainâs most notable characteristicâ"at least in the eyes of the Romansâ"was that not only was it the most remote province, but it was also the most recalcitrant. The rebels of Roman Britain came in many forms from, most famously, Boudica and Caratacus, who wanted the Romans out, to Allectus and Carausius, whose rebellions were inspired by gaining power within the empire. Weaving together archaeology and contemporary documents and literature, Guy de la Bà doyà re reveals why Britain was such a hotbed of dissent under Roman rule.; 224 pages. Seller Inventory # 40133
