Reviews
'This is not a book for the general reader, but it has much to offer any classicist or archaeologist with an interest in Roman Britain. Kent was a particularly significant part of the province. It was the main port of entry from the continent, the site of the famous triumphal arch signifying the conquest of Britannia, the first section of Watling Street and the main base (on this side of the channel) of the Classis Britannica, Rome's British fleet. Hence the particular significance of the villa at Eccles. The book also has much to offer medieval historians. It is packed with hard data about the Anglo-Saxon finds, and sets these in their historical context.' - Rupert Jackson (2022): Classics for All
'This knowledge of the archaeology of Eccles, set within such a multi-disciplinary approach, provides far more than a normal archaeological report.' - Della Hooke (2022): Medieval Archaeology, 66/2
