"Water and Roman Urbanism: Towns, Waterscapes, Land Transformation and Experience
in Roman Britain offers a new perspective for investigating Roman settlement and how
urban spaces were created and experienced by focusing on the relationship between
settlement and water and the meanings attributed to these places. Rather than a descriptive
approach to the urban fabric it emphasises social context and cultural meaning through
interpretative frameworks of analysis. Central are the cultural and experiential implications
of water forming part of towns, rather than economic and practical arguments, and
the way in which these places were used and altered over time. The book emphasises
a social approach and has considerable implications for our understanding of life
in the Roman period as a whole."--Publisher's website
