A British social historian specializing in Antiquity, Osborn discusses soldiers, farmers, merchants, and other ordinary people who lived in and close to the forts of the Roman wall across what is now northern England. He also describes the methods that historians and archaeologists use to come to conclusions. His account can be used as a companion for travelers or a textbook in a non-specialist course on Roman Britain. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
