Abstract
"The Eagle and the Bear: A New History of Roman Scotland" by John H. Reid offers a fresh perspective on the history of Roman Scotland. The author aims to provide a less Roman-centric overview of the period, challenge current concepts, and restore the voice of a lost people. The book covers a wider time period than usual, from the Pre Roman Iron Age to the Pictish/Early Medieval period, and explores various disciplines involved in studying the past. It also highlights the impact of Scottish tribes on Roman Britain and examines Roman military strategy and its effects on local populations. The book is well-illustrated and will appeal to both non-specialist readers and historians/archaeologists interested in the topic. [Extracted from the article]
