 | Roman Camps in Wales and the Marches (ISBN 0708320791)
The Roman army in Britain left a rich archaeological legacy in the form of permanently occupied installations such as legionary fortresses, auxiliary forts and frontier works. Less well-known are those field-works built by the army on campaign - marching-camps - or as part of its rigorous training regimes, namely practice-works. This volume presents a detailed study of these lesser-known field entrenchments in Wales and the Marches, a region which for a generation from the mid-first century AD became the focus of operations in southern Britain.

Cadbury Castle, Somerset: The early medieval archaeology (ISBN 0708312756)
Cadbury Castle, Somerset, is an impressively large hillfort, originally built in the Celtic Iron Age and briefly overrun by the Roman army in the first century AD. It has the longest record of occupation of any hillfort in Britain, for its defences were repaired in two later periods. The first of these periods, the late fifth century, has traditionally been associated with the legendary King Arthur, and the second, the eleventh century, is firmly attributed to King Ethelred the Unready.

The Druids (paperback) (ISBN 0708314163)
'. . . presents a fine classic study . . . covering the institution of druidism and creating a scholarly work which should interest any student of the druids. Enjoy an excellent history which packs depth and detail into its account.' Midwest Book Review
This classic study of the druids, one of the three intellectual classes of the early Celtic peoples, was first published by the University of Wales Press in 1966. The druids were the most enlightened and civilizing spiritual influence in Celtic Europe and were held in high regard as priests, philosophers, teachers and judges. Nora Chadwick's book examines and assesses the early written evidence of the Greeks and Romans and considers the druids within their historical context.

Romans in Wales (ISBN 0-7083-0960-7 )
Gerald R. Morgan. Translated by Gareth Williams
pp 25 1987 paperback
The archaeological evidence amassed by generations of work on numerous Roman sites has been synthesised into a lively and imaginative account of everyday life for two soldiers stationed at Isca Silurum -the Roman fortress at Caerleon in Gwent. The routine of life in the Roman army and in an adjoining civil settlement is presented as the story of living people with whom pupils can identify. Aimed at children 11-13 years old, it is a masterly exercise in empathy based on sound scholarship and creative insight. Site plans, photographs and reconstruction illustrations support the text in a vivid manner.

Semites in Ancient History (ISBN 0-7083-0074-X)
Sabatino Moscati
Out of Print
The present book brings together the results of the author's former investigations and develops them in a new historical perspective. Starting from the basic idea that the Semites in the strict sense of the word must be identified with the ancient Beduin, Professor Moscati investigates the vicissitudes of these Beduin from their appearance on the stage of history up to their penetration into the lands surrounding the desert and the dissolution of their primitive unity. Thus the cycle of the history of the Semites is brought to its close, and the history of the Semitic peoples begins.

| | Whitton (ISBN 0-7083-0765-5 )
An Iron Age and Roman Farmstead in South Glamorgan
Michael G. Jarrett and Stuart Wrathmell
pp xv262 including 91 figures and 14 tables plus 29 plates 1981
The Iron Age and Roman farm at Whitton, South Glamorgan, lies about 4.5 km. north west of Barry and 16 km. west-south west of Cardiff. It was discovered in 1956, and extensive damage by ploughing led the Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments to institute a trial excavation in 1965. The results were so encouraging that over the next 5 years the site was totally excavated by modern methods. Full excavation has been complemented by full reporting.
