Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed account of England's coastal defences from Roman times through to the Norman Conquest and beyond. It offers a comprehensive overview of prehistoric fortifications and their possible links to Roman military strategy, and explores the evolution of Roman fortification design and architecture through the nine castra, or forts, along Britain's south coast. The author examines the role of these castra in the defence of Roman Britain, discusses the reasons for their abandonment, and considers their fate during the Saxon period. With attention to historical context, archaeological evidence, and architectural details, the book sheds light on the evolving methods and strategies employed to protect England's shores against foreign invasion. Ultimately, this book enhances our understanding of the significance of coastal defences in shaping England's history and identity.
