From the publisher

The Roman Conquest of Britain in AD 43 was one of the most important turning points in the history of the British Isles. It left a legacy still discernible today in the form of archaeological remain, road networks, land divisions and even language.
In his much-acclaimed trilogy, now up-dated and revised, Dr Webster builds up a fascinating and lively picture of Britain in the first century AD and discussed in detail the various types of evidence and the theories based upon it.
Caratacus' last stand against the Romans has a central place in the folklore of the Welsh Marches, where many a hill is claimed to be the site of the famous battle. But, as Graham Webster shows, this epic encounter was not only real history but also part of an intricate ten-year series of campaigns conducted after the initial conquest of Britain.
By interpreting the ancient historical accounts and piecing together the masses of archaeological evidence, Dr Webster has brilliantly reconstructed this central period of the Claudian Conquest of Britain and its immediate aftermath.

Routledge, London / NewYork, 2003. Re-issued. 181p. ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings). Paperback. Initials stamp, date and personal library mark on free endpaper. 'Dr. Graham Webster has completed a valauble trilogy about the early years of the conquest of Britain (the other works are 'The Roman Invasion of Britain' and 'Boudica: the British Revolt against Rome A.D. 60). The new volume covers the years of the push through the West Midlands and into Wales against Caratacus. It deals rathers more briefly with the work of consolidation in the 50s by Scapula's successors. P. Ostroisu Scapula died a frustrated and broken man. Webster is sceptical about his generalship: 'All through his period of office in Britain Scapula had made hasty decisions without full consideration of the long-term consequences.' Webster has evolved an interesting format for his books.
