It tells us about the soldiers who built and garrisoned it and the civilians who lived in the towns and villages scattered along its length. Never before has such a grand attempt been made to show in vivid colourful detail the life of Roman Britain. Every building to be found inside the Roman forts and camps has been carefully reconstructed. The drawings by Ronald Embleton have already atracted worldwide notice and are acknowledged to be among the best reconstructions of Roman life both from an artistic and historial viewpoint.' -- inside jacket.
