The contributors are all recognised experts in their specialist fields. The range of diverse chapters, which it is not possible to summarise within the word limit of this review, will bring the reader right up to date with modern thinking about ancient Britain. * Rupert Jackson, Classics for All * The editors of The Oxford Handbook of Roman Britain (Martin Millett, Louise Revell, and Alison Moore) and their contributors do much to relieve the place of both burdens. They eschew the tradition of shoehorning the archaeological evidence of Iron Age and Roman Britain into a Rome-centred narrative of conquest, settlement, and civilisation ... Roman Britain is thus liberated from the more triumphalist version of the British origin myth, the winners' take on empire. At the same time, archaeological evidence is freed up to tell more subtle and complicated stories about the changes brought by empire to the region, especially those experienced by ordinary people * Emma Dench, Times Literary Supplement * For anyone with a serious interest in the subject, however, this book is a 'must have'.
