Lediglich der Einband ist berieben, sonst ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / Only the cover is rubbed, otherwise a good and clean copy without annotations. - This edition, now in paperback for the first time, has been substantially rewritten and re-illustrated to take account of the extensive new excavations and interpretations since John Wachers book was first published in 1974. A monumental study, it marked a watershed in Romano-British research, receiving instant and unanimous praise from reviewers for its insights and clear writing as much as for its comprehensiveness. The central section covers the origin, development, public and private buildings, fortifications, character and demise of each of the twenty-one major towns of the province: the provincial capital of London the coloniae Colchester, Lincoln, Gloucester and York the first civitas capitals - Canterbury, Verulamium and Chelmsford from client kingdoms to civitas - Caister-by-Norwich, Chichester, Silchester and Winchester Flavian expansion Cirencester, Dorchester, Exeter, Leicester and Wroxeter Hadrianic stimulation Caerwent, Carmarthen, Brough-on-Humber and Aldborough The introductory chapters address the general questions of definition and urbanization, while the concluding chapter examines the reasons for the decay and final demise of these urban communities. / CONTENTS Acknowledgements Acknowledgements to Second Edition List of Illustrations Note on References Preface to Second Edition Introduction 1 What were towns and how did they develop? 2 What part did towns play in the province? 3 Towns as provincial capitals: London 4 The coloniae: Colchester, Lincoln, Gloucester and York 5 The first civitas capitals: Canterbury, Chelmsford and Verulamium 6 From client kingdom to civitas: Caistor-by-Norwich, Chichester, Silchester and Winchester 7 Flavian expansion: Cirencester, Dorchester, Exeter, Leicester and Wroxeter 8 Hadrianic stimulation: Caerwent, Carmarthen, Brough-on-Humber and Aldborough 9 Town-life or life in towns?
