Abstract

"Roman County Durham: The Eastern Hinterland of Hadrian's Wall" by D.J.P. Mason is a comprehensive and lavishly illustrated book that provides a wealth of information on the Roman archaeology of County Durham. The book covers both military and rural settlements, including traditional Iron Age settlements, villas, small towns, and agricultural and pottery production sites. It also explores the interactions between diverse frontier communities and the lasting legacy of the Roman sites in the region. While the book has some editing oversights and relies on concepts like 'Romanization' that may be problematic for some readers, it is a valuable resource for archaeologists, academics, and the general public interested in the Roman heritage of County Durham.
