For this revised edition the text, illustrations and bibliography have been updated to incorporate new research and recent discoveries, including the Frome Hoard, the largest Roman coin hoard ever found in Britain, evidence at Silchester of possible lavish building work after the Boudican revolt, the thirty decapitated male skeletons found in York - possibly the victims of a massacre - as well as the magnificent Crosby Garrett parade helmet.
