In his captivating book, Roman historian and archaeologist Andrew Tibbs delves into the earliest Roman fortifications in Scotland, shedding light on the landscape and context in which they were constructed. While the most prominent high-water marks of the Roman Empire in Britain are Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall, there is less knowledge about the fortifications that marked the early Roman forays into Scotland before the Romans deemed the land ungovernable. Through the use of maps, diagrams, reconstructions, and archaeological evidence, Andrew Tibbs unveils these significant military bastions and explores the strategic and tactical context in which they were built.
The book offers fascinating insights into how Roman commanders and their engineers utilized the landscape to strategically locate the forts in prime defensive positions. They capitalized on the rugged contours of the land, as well as made optimal use of roads and rivers. The author compellingly argues that the location of Roman fortifications in the Scottish landscape played a vital role in securing and controlling the local population during the initial Roman invasion of Scotland.
Illustrated with maps, diagrams, and photographs of surviving archaeological sites, this book serves as an indispensable companion for amateur archaeologists, historians, and walkers who seek to uncover more about the Roman military landscape of Scotland.
