Some reviews:
“Roman Colchester is a great book. It is a ‘must’ read for all with an interest in Roman Britain”.
Sir Bob Russell, Former MP for Colchester.
Absolutely incredible and in many ways unique piece of work. What so many authors and historians describe in words, this book does in pictures and is thus so much more valuable. As a historian and teacher I love the use of technology to bring history alive. Roman Colchester would have looked incredible. Would highly recommend this to anyone studying Roman Britain or who lives in Colchester.
