The Ending of Roman Britain

The Ending of Roman Britain

by A.S. Esmonde Cleary

The Ending of Roman Britain explains what Britain was like in the fourth century AD and how this can be understood only in the wider context of the western Roman Empire. The emphasis is on the information to be won from archaeology rather than history, leading to a compelling explanation of the fall of Roman Britain and some novel suggestions about the place of post-Roman population in the formation of England.
