Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the enduring legacies of Roman Chester, through the lens of recent archaeological discoveries of inscribed and sculpted stones from the city walls. The author challenges the long-held assumption that the city walls are largely of medieval construction, and argues that the extant Roman portions have been heavily re-used. By comparing Chester to similar towns in France, the author argues for the primary role of the Romans in building the walls, suggesting that the medieval inhabitants simply made repairs to pre-existing Roman structures. Scholars and casual readers with an interest in Roman history, archaeology, and architecture will find this an engaging and challenging study, that sheds light on the nature of Roman city-building in Britain, and has important implications for the wider study of Roman and medieval urbanism. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282128562_0
