Roman Forts - The military achievements of Rome were unprecedented. It's vast empire was won and held by a formidable and highly organized army and it's frontiers secured by fortresses, forts, and impressive defensive works. Despite extensive archaeological excavation of Roman forts, this is the first definitive survey of the subject, concentrating primarily upon Britain the German provinces during the first two hundred years of Roman occupation. It incorporates the findings of several recent excavations, including information available for the first time about important fort excavations in Germany and the Netherlands. The first part of the book deals with the layout and plan of the fort, and the probable reconstruction of the defense and internal buildings. The most important archaeological discoveries have been combined with the evidence from Classical authors to give an impression life within a Roman fort. The second part considers the development of the fort plan from the earliest Republican camps to auxiliary forts of the third century AD and concludes with a discussion of the relationships between fort types and their garrisons. The book is profusely illustrated with photographs, line drawings, and maps, many previously unpublished. it proves invaluable material for the student or research worker and for anyone interested in roman military history.
