On 6 September, to mark the publication of The Roman Occupation of Britain and its Legacy by Rupert Jackson, Bloomsbury is hosted a special online event celebrating its launch. A significant portion of the post-tax royalties from this edition will go to Classics for All.
Sir Rupert Jackson (a former Lord Justice of Appeal), Martin Millet (Laurence Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of Cambridge), James Renshaw (teaches Classics at Godolphin and Latymer School) and Jules Mann (Executive Director of Classics for All) discussed this fascinating period of history that begins in the Iron Age and ends with independence in AD 409, why attempting to understand Roman Britain is so important, and how the Classics community is doing this.
Bloomsbury Books is also offering Classics for All supporters a special discount offer to purchase this book from the Bloomsbury website: please use this code - CFA35 - to get 35% off (offer valid until midnight on 1 November 2020).
Incorporating for the first time the most recent archaeological discoveries from Hadrian's Wall, London and other sites across the country, and richly illustrated throughout with photographs and maps, this reliable and up-to-date new account is essential reading for students, non-specialists and general readers alike. Writing in a clear, readable and lively style (with a satirical eye to strange features of past times), Rupert Jackson draws on current research and new findings to deepen our understanding of the role played by Britain in the Roman Empire, deftly integrating the ancient texts with new archaeological material.
