In AD 43, the area of south-east England now known as Surrey became part of the Roman Empire. The succeeding 400 years saw the development of settlements, roads, industry and a new administrative structure, with the foundation of London providing a new and lasting focus for the people of Surrey.
In this fully revised and updated second edition of Roman Surrey, Dr David Bird combines both historical and the very latest archaeological evidence with topographical studies to build a vivid picture of life at the time, from villas and coinage to the interrelation of the people who lived there, and their beliefs and customs.
The changing face of Surrey's landscape is chartered, alongside an exploration of the theories relating to the development and eventual decline of Roman Surrey.
