An interesting introduction but felt a little repetitive. Would have loved to learn more about Boudica, who is only mentioned briefly, but enjoyed the chapter on Hadrians wall

Very informative but also repetitive!

Quick introduction to Roman Britain, just as the title suggests. It spends a good bit of time concentrating on the importance of Hadrian's Wall.

[Anu · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book offers conclusions on the influence and ramifications of Roman history on Britain. But almost none of the details leading to these conclusions are presented. It’s on a very abstract level, unhelpful and annoying if you are looking for more historical facts.

Finished Roman Britain by History Nerds written in 2024. They advertise themselves as "History Nerds is a dedicated team of passionate historians, writers, and researchers committed to bringing history to life for readers around the world. Our mission is to uncover hidden stories of the past, highlighting the events, people, and cultures that have shaped our world.” In this case a short insightful piece on Britain as a colony of Rome from AD 43 to AD 410.I knew that Britain was a Roman Colony but had no idea the long term Roman influence in that time and down to this day. Worth the read.

( Format : Audiobook )
"Integration into Roman society.

Concise and informative straightforward description of the period from invasion to withdraw of troops from Great Britain. Whilst there is some speculation, it is mostly a direct time account of practical occurrences, eg.dates and names.
Reads like an excellent university thesis.
The narration is good, clear and pleasant on the ear by Scottish accented Andrew McDermott.
Recommended as an excellent framework to initial studies of the period.

This was a good, short, informative read! I quite enjoyed learning more about the Roman occupation of Britain and just how far reaching their influence was. From the crops they grew to the cultural change of having a dining room. So good!

Very little meat on these bones. More of an introductory overview. Repetitious blather.
