Synopsis
The campaign to secure for Rome what would have been the most northern outpost of its empire—Scotland—was continually resisted and ultimately thwarted. Despite a significant victory in AD 83, the Roman army was forced to retreat to the Antonine Wall around 142 and back to Hadrian’s Wall around 180. Despite an invasion by the emperor himself in 209, the combined forces of the Picts and Scots proved too strong for the Romans.

Review
As accessible as it is scholarly. Properly set in the context of events elsewhere in the empire, it provides a straightforward account of this early episode in Scotland's story ... Mr Kamm informs and entertains in equal measure. Tom Kyle, the Scottish Daily Mail His writing is clear and precise ... The author makes an excellent job of explaining and, where necessary, simplifying the tangled web of what we know, or think we know, about Roman activities between the walls and weaves this tale into the bigger picture as seen from Rome ... All is told in 175 enthralling pages. Ian Keillar in History Scotland
