Conquest: The Rivers and Roads of Flavian Scotland by Andrew Tibbs

Scotland is one of the few areas of the ancient world which was never completely occupied by the Roman army, and despite numerous attempts, never fully assimilated into the Empire. Arguably, it was during the 1st century that the Imperial Army made the most successful inroads into the lands beyond the province of Britannia, reaching as far as the shores of the Moray Firth in the north. However, the full length and extent of Roman occupation in this period remains debated by scholars. Based on the findings of his latest research, Dr Andrew Tibbs (Durham University) will explore the role and function of roads and waterways in 1st century Scotland, how they were used by Roman military and what we really know about these today.
