Download or read book The Secret History of the Roman Roads of Britain written by M.C. Bishop and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many books on Britain's Roman roads, but none have considered in any depth their long-term strategic impact. Mike Bishop shows how the road network was vital not only in the Roman strategy of conquest and occupation, but influenced the course of British military history during subsequent ages. The author starts with the pre-Roman origins of the network (many Roman roads being built over prehistoric routes) before describing how the Roman army built, developed, maintained and used it. Then, uniquely, he moves on to the post-Roman history of the roads. He shows how they were crucial to medieval military history (try to find a medieval battle that is not near one) and the governance of the realm, fixing the itinerary of the royal progresses. Their legacy is still clear in the building of 18th century military roads and even in the development of the modern road network. Why have some parts of the network remained in use throughout?The text is supported with clear maps and photographs. Most books on Roman roads are concerned with cataloguing or tracing them, or just dealing with aspects like surveying. This one makes them part of military landscape archaeology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Highways and Byways From a Motor Car: Being a Record of a Five Thousand Mile Tour There are three ways in which a tourist may oh tain a good idea of Britain during a summer's vaca tion of three or four months. He may cover most places of interest after the Old manner, by railway train. This 'will have to be supplemented by many and expensive carriage drives if he wishes to see the most beautiful country and many of the most inter esting places. As Prof. Goldwin Smith says, Rail ways in England do not follow the lines of beauty in very many cases, and the Opportunity afforded of really seeing England from a railway car window is poor indeed. The tourist must keep a constant eye on the time-tables, and in many of the more re tired places he will have to spend a day when an hour would suffice quite as well could he get away.
