Description

These twenty-six papers, written in honour of John Wacher, take a new look at the towns of Roman Britain, western Europe, and beyond. With subjects ranging from Ancyra to Wroxeter, from urban art to waste water, this collection complements Wacher's seminal publication Towns of Roman Britain (1974), and its companion volume, The 'Small Towns' of Roman Britain (1990).
