Why read it?
1 author picked Life and Letters from the Roman Frontier as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Vindolanda is one of Britain’s best Roman sites, in part because of the letters which have been discovered. Written by Roman soldiers and their families, these letters include birthday party invitations, complaints about debts and shopping lists and they only surviving letters from a woman to a female recipient. They provide a staggeringly intimate look at daily living in a Romano-British fort and Alan K. Bowman brings the whole site to life.
From Emma's list on Roman Britain.
