Roman roads in Britain
by Hugh DaviesThe vast networks of roads throughout the Roman Empire were vital to the expansion of Roman culture, power and influence across the world and one of their principal uses was the transportation of the Legions to strategic bases in the most direct way possible.
This book details the planning, construction and maintenance of these road networks, and discusses the different types of Roman road found in areas of Britain, and their many uses.
With photographs of surviving roads in Britain and a list of where they are still in use, Roman Roads in Britain is a perfect introduction to a Roman legacy that exists to this day.

This book was exactly what I was looking for to answer questions and give understanding without wasted superfluous word fill. Well written, clearlywell thought out, with excellent fresh pictures that help get the idea across.
This book gives a short introduction to the subject of Roman Roads in Britain. The author, Hugh Davies, spent his professional life working at the Transport Research Laboratory in Crowthorne, which happens to run next to the Devil's Highway, the road that linked London to Silchester.
