A Bibliography of Sources

Histories and Surveys

Prologue - Late Iron Age Britain

Postscript - The Aftermath

This page lists those works that treat the occupation in either an historical way or as a general survey of the impact of Roman civilisation on mainland Britain and its population.  Older works should not be neglected as they contain a great deal of detail and opinion which later authors often assume the reader has already assimilated

The links above to Prologue and Postscript are to listings of works dealing with Britain in the periods immediately before the Claudian invasion and after the withdrawal of the Roman army.

Any comment of my own is contained in square brackets [....] as are reviews I know of,   - for example,  if a work has been reviewed in the pages of Britannia it's entry  will be appended with a note of that journal's volume number and page reference,   -  [Brit vii, 112].
