Extract

When the fifth edition of the Ordnance Survey Map of Roman Britain was published in March 2001, the distributions of individual classes of site raised questions about the character of Roman Britain. In particular, apparent differences between the response to Rome of the peoples of the South and East and of those of the North and West of Britain were highlighted. These issues are discussed here in the context of the key monument class distributions depicted on the Map.
