This 1949 book provides an illustrated description of all the Roman remains in Scotland north of the Antonine Wall (i.e. the Forth-Clyde line). It contains an introductory chapter describing the various antiquities in the course of the journey, and methods of identification on the ground and from the air.

With the coming of the Roman General Gaius Julius Caesar to Britain in both 55BC and 54BC, life changed forever for the tribes inhabiting the British islands. Emperor of Rome Antoninius Pius succeeded Emperor Hadrian on his death in AD 138. It was Antoninius who gave orders for the Roman Army to march into Scotland. Under his instructions the new Roman frontier was built: The Antonine Wall in Scotland. The Antonine Guard belong to a History Society driven to inform on Scotland's ancient history. The Sixth Legion stood as example and source for research for the modern Antonine Guard. A founder member of this Society, John S. Richardson grew up with a fascination for civilizations of the past and has a lifelong interest in the history of Egypt, Greece and Rome. This book he wrote especially for you.
