Septimius Severus: First Hammer of the Scots

[OC Richard]

Thank you, Richard. I've just ordered it.

Awesome!

I'm a visual person and essential to me being able to follow along spatially was

Roman Britain by Ordinance Survey Historical Maps

Especially the Agricola and Severus invasions of Scotland are hard to grasp for me without a good map.

All the known Roman forts and marching camps are shown.

I went down the Roman rabbithole during COVID.

I tried to stick to more recent books because diggings are currently ongoing which are continuously adding to our meagre knowledge.

I really liked these

Pax Romana by Adrian Goldsworthy

The Complete Roman Army also by Adrian Goldsworthy

Conquering Jerusalem by Stephan Dando-Collins (this book is incredibly interesting)

The Anglo-Saxons by Marc Morris (what came after the Romans)
