There have been many books on Britain's Roman roads, but none have considered in any depth their long-term strategic impact. Mike Bishop shows how the road network was vital not only in the Roman strategy of conquest and occupation, but influenced the course of British military history during subsequent ages. The author starts with the pre-Roman origins of the network (many Roman roads being built over prehistoric routes) before describing how the Roman army built, developed, maintained and used it. Then, uniquely, he moves on to the post-Roman history of the roads. He shows how they were crucial to medieval military history (try to find a medieval battle that is not near one) and the governance of the realm, fixing the itinerary of the royal progresses. Their legacy is still clear in the building of 18th century military roads and even in the development of the modern road network. Why have some parts of the network remained in use throughout?The text is supported with clear maps and photographs. Most books on Roman roads are concerned with cataloguing or tracing them, or just dealing with aspects like surveying. This one makes them part of military landscape archaeology.

This a collection of six historical fiction stories that aim to bring ancient Rome to life and show that the people of that time were not so different from us. Through these sketches, the author hopes to inspire readers to see the noblest literature and history of Rome as an intimate inspiration, rather than just a formal study. Each story focuses on a different period of Roman history, from the last years of the Republic to the Antonine period. The author draws directly from the writings of the people who appear in the sketches, and presents the facts in an imaginative form that reveals their significance for modern readers. These stories not only offer a glimpse into ancient Roman life, but also serve as a reminder that the roads from Rome lead into the highway of human life.
