英国被罗马占领的几个世纪一直有一个矛盾的名声。一代又一代的英国读者从小就接受罗马帝国是他们自己帝国的榜样的教育，但同样清楚的是，在罗马帝国内部，不列颠本身只是一个没有吸引力的剥削殖民地。大卫马丁利的主要新书借鉴了大量的新研究，出色地重现了这个殖民地英国：一个反叛的，处于不利地位的地方，需要大量的驻军，非常容易受到罗马政治变革的影响。其结果是把整个伟大的故事在一个新的和迷人的光。
The centuries under which Britain was under Roman occupation have always had a contradictory reputation. Generations of British readers were brought up to approve of the Roman Empire as the model for their own empire, but equally it was embarrassingly clear that within the Roman Empire Britain itself was merely an unattractive exploitation colony. David Mattingly's major new book draws on a wealth of new research to recreate brilliantly this colonial Britain: a rebellious, disadvantaged place needing heavy garrisoning and highly vulnerable to political change in Rome. The result puts the whole great story in a new and fascinating light.
