Download or read book Roman Roads in Britain (Classic Reprint) written by Thomas Codrington and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roman Roads in Britain The roads constructed during the Roman occupation do not appeal to the imagination like such remains as the Wall of Hadrian, or the ruins of an ancient city; but when the extent and the permanent nature and effect of them are considered, they may claim a foremost place among the remains of Roman work in the country. They were part of the network of roads that covered the Roman world; for many centuries they continued to be the chief means of communication within the island; and while some of them are still to be seen in almost perfect condition, portions of many more form part of the foundations of roads now m use. The course of the roads was evidently planned with skill, and laid out with a complete grasp of the general features of the country to be passed through; the work of construo tion, however, was probably carried out under many masters, and perhaps not at the same time.

Download or read book Our Roman Highways (Classic Reprint) written by Urquhart A. Forbes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-05 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Roman Highways IN the present work the Roman highway system in Britain has been treated from a historical rather than a purely archaeological and topographical point of view, and the authors have therefore abstained from attempt ing any detailed examination of the course followed by the great lines of road with their numerous ramifications - a task which would have exceeded the limits of their work, and which has, moreover, been recently very thoroughly and ably performed by Mr. T. Codrington, M. I. C. E., F G. S. In his Roman Roads in Britain.' Similar exigencies of space have also obliged them to considerably cuitail their notice of the towns, villas, and othe1 monuments of the Roman occupation, and also to compress into a single chapter their review of the long period occupied by the gradual conversion of the remains of the old Roman road system into that now existing.

Book Synopsis The Secret History of the Roman Roads of Britain by : M.C. Bishop
Download or read book The Secret History of the Roman Roads of Britain written by M.C. Bishop and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roman Era in Britain Perhaps even more remarkable are the changes which have affected the configuration of the island since the Roman era. Here, the shore has receded in consequence of the erosive action of the waves, or the depression of the land. There, where the land has risen, or low-lying stretches of silt have been deposited, it has advanced beyond the Roman line. What was a Roman port may have long since succumbed to the encroachment of the sea or it may now be miles inland. The rivers, too, in their meanderings through alluvial tracts, have wandered from their old courses, and the declining rainfall has reduced their volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roman Road Mrs. Groot, the lady that seemed so to have misadventured over and through the sound laws that should govern good primogeniture. If it had ever occurred to Mrs. Groot in an unwary moment of introspection to sum up herself by the light of her past, she would have said that she was a good woman who had made one little mistake but the seven deadly sins sprung from one root could not have shown signs of bearing a finer crop than did the little mistake Mrs. Groot had grafted on to the tree of her fortunes. By nature Mrs. Groot belonged to those infinitely wise people who never indulge in skirmishes with their own thoughts for the pleasure of fighting, but events pressed hard, and think she must whether she would or no. She sat now in the yellow drawing-room at Groot Hall, waylaid by an army of thoughts. Roland, meditative and amused, watched her from the terrace, then he flung away his cigar and entered the room.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roads From Rome The main purpose of the Roman sketches is to show that the men and women of ancient Rome were like ourseleves. "Born into life! - 'tis we, And not the world, are new; Our cry for bliss, our plea, Others have urged it too - Our wants have ail been felt, our errors made before." It is only when we perceive in "classical antiquity" a human nature similar to our own in its mingling of weakness and strength, vice and virtue, sorrow and joy, defeats and victories that we shall find in its noblest literature an intimate rather than a formal inspiration, and in its history either comfort or warning.
