Combining his knowledge of modern archaeology and Roman history, Wacher (U. of Leicester) begins with a study of later Iron Age Britain, its society, its economy and its relations with other cultures. He then examines the effects of warfare on it; the problems of growing urbanization and its consequences for the essentially rural population and administrative processes; the day-to-day work and leisure of the population; superstitions and beliefs; and the pressures which caused the final collapse of Roman Britain.
