Edge of Empire, Rome's Scottish Frontier by David John Breeze PDF Summary

Book Description: "In this new book, David Breeze tells the story of the Roman invasion of southern Scotland in the second century A.D., the building of the Antonine Wall, its occupation and abandonment. The material used to describe these events includes contemporary coins and literary sources together with inscription and sculpture from the wall itself, as well as the archaeological remains of the monument. The unique distance slabs not only record the process of building, but also provide a series of snapshots depicting the preparations, invasion and victory achieved by the Roman army over 1800 years ago, and stunning new photography by David Henrie of Historic Scotland illustrates all aspects of this most northerly Roman frontier. Both scholarly and beautifully illustrated, Edge of Empire underlines the reasons why the Antonine Wall has been proposed as a World Heritage Site."--BOOK JACKET.
