A very interesting book

[James · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this book, its findings certainly deserve some serious consideration. So children, if you're ever asked the question 'did the Roman set foot on Ireland?' the answer is yes.

[Deirdre · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting but very romano-centric. Independent invention is apparently unknown.

[Jbondandrews · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting book to start learning about Roman Ireland. I hope there are more books out there that talk about Ireland's history during the Roman Empire.
