Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume, presenting research carried out through the Exeter: A Place in Time project, provides a synthesis of the development of Exeter within its local, regional, national and international hinterlands. Exeter began life in c. AD 55 as one of the most important legionary bases within early Roman Britain, and for two brief periods in the early and late 60s AD, Exeter was a critical centre of Roman power within the new province. When the legion moved to Wales the fortress was converted into the civitas capital for the Dumnonii. Its development as a town was, however, relatively slow, reflecting the gradual pace at which the region as a whole adapted to being part of the Roman world. The only evidence we have for occupation within Exeter between the 5th and 8th centuries is for a church in what was later to become the Cathedral Close. In the late 9th century, however, Exeter became a defended burh, and this was followed by the revival of urban life. Exeter’s wealth was in part derived from its central role in the south-west’s tin industry, and by the late 10th century Exeter was the fifth most productive mint in England. Exeter’s importance continued to grow as it became an episcopal and royal centre, and excavations within Exeter have revealed important material culture assemblages that reflect its role as an international port.

Book excerpt: Exeter, fortress of the Second Augustan Legion and subsequently the capital of the civitas Dumnoniorum, played an important part in the history of Roman Britain. This comprehensive study of finds from Exeter throws new light on the economy of south-west England and its foreign trade in Roman times. There are extensive type-series of Roman pottery found in the South West, based not only on first-hand study of material from Exeter but also from throughout the region, and detailed catalogues of the many imports by K. Greene, K.Hartley, V. Rigby, V. Swan and others. Finds apart from pottery include Roman coins (R. Reece and N. Shiel) and small finds (L. Allason-Jones); the many alleged finds of Byzantine and other Eastern Mediterranean coins are shown to be spurious by G. Boon. Wide-ranging discussions assess the significance of the finds for the history of the Roman fortress and town and for the local economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Exeter The writer of this work, when engaged in compiling the History of the Religious Houses in the County of Devon, was frequently astonished at the vague and inaccurate accounts that had been published of those monastic establishments which formerly flourished in the City of Exeter. After completing the above-mentioned work, he determined to devote his leisure moments to the study of the Exeter historians. He knew that Izacke's Memorials was reputed a work of authority and credit; and it was reasonable to think, that a man who was Chamberlain of Exeter for thirty years, would have availed himself of the ample means which he possessed to compile a faithful and interesting account of his native city. He had, however, proceeded but a little way, when he discovered that Izacke is a careless and misleading guide; that he betrays a lamentable deficiency of good taste and judgment; and that to excessive credulity and puerility, he unites no inconsiderable share of dogmatical assurance. Moreover, he deserves censure for not acknowledging his great obligations to Mr. John Hoker. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
