'Architecture in Roman Britain' is drawn from the proceedings of a conference organized by the Roman Research Trust and held at the Museum of London in November 1991. It contains four sections, dealing with external decoration, the elevations of buildings, military architecture, and British manifestations of the architecture of the later Roman Empire. Some of the most important recent work that is serving to change prevailing ideas about provincial Roman architecture will be found here, together with an overview by Prof J. J. Wilkes which puts it within its imperial context.
