Further Reading


The following sources will help users to follow up topics further. They are not exhausive, but through them further references can be identified. Researchers interested in epigraphy may wish to consult R.G. Collingwood and R.P. Wright, The Roman Inscriptions of Britain, Stroud 1995 (Alan Sutton). The annual journal Britannia also contains much of interest. Lawrence Keppie’s Scotland’s Roman Remains, Edinburgh 1986 (John Donald), is an admirable guide to what can still be seen on the ground.
