"Accessible... engagingly written... This book is an excellent and thoughtful exploration of London at a macro level, exploring the forces that governed its wider fate, and placing it firmly in context as part of a wider empire. Agree or disagree, this book will be central to discussions of the city for decades to come." -- Owen Humphreys, Current Archaeology

"A superbly readable, up-to-date, comprehensive and beautifully illustrated account of the history of Roman London." -- Armand D'Angour, Engelsberg Ideas

"This fascinating book does much more than tell the story which is briefly summarised above. It is packed with analysis of individual buildings and discussion of social history. It does not pre-suppose extensive background knowledge. Anyone who enjoys history, whether or not they are a classicist, will read this work with great interest." -- Rupert Jackson, Classics for All
