Book synopsis

The Roman Legionaries were a formidable, highly organised and well-disciplined sect of the Roman army, vital to maintaining order and control of the outposts of the Empire and its subjugated people. The fortresses that were home to this most vital faction were built on similar lines as their hosts - formidable, orderly and nearly indestructible. But what was it like to live in one of these fortresses? Who maintained them and the troops that held? What was everyday life inside the fortresses like? Life In A Roman Legionary Fortress provides a fascinating insight into inner workings of the castra and the people that ran them. Using the fortresses in Chester, York and Caerleon as models, Tim Copeland rebuilds the lives of these long-ago people and provides readers with a vivid portrait of what life would have been like behind those great walls.
