London in the Roman World collects and details the most recent archaeological and academic research on the Roman city. * D. M. Hall, CHOICE * This is a forcefully argued account of Roman London marked by an impressive mastery of a complex and fragmented archaeology. * Christopher Kelly , London Review of Books * Books of the Year 2022 * , Current Archaeology * highly informative, accessibly written * Sadie Watson, Minerva * Accessible... engagingly written... This book is an excellent and thoughtful exploration of London at a macro level, exploring the forces that governed its wider fate, and placing it firmly in context as part of a wider empire. Agree or disagree, this book will be central to discussions of the city for decades to come. * Owen Humphreys, Current Archaeology * This is a splendid book... and Dominic's wide knowledge of other parts of the Roman world gives it a depth that makes it a landmark in the study of Roman London. * Andrew Selkirk, Current Archaeology * A superbly readable, up-to-date, comprehensive and beautifully illustrated account of the history of Roman London. * Armand D'Angour, Engelsberg Ideas * This book presents the most comprehensive coverage of Roman London - Londinium - to date by the foremost authority in this sphere of Romano-British archaeology... Dominic Perring should be commended for producing a work that navigates such a difficult journey so well through a thorny subject area with the relative precision permitted by a wealth of material sources. It is the manner in which these are interpreted and their concordance - and in some cases discordance - with historical narratives that single this work out at as an essential handbook for Roman London and Roman Britain more generally. * Mark Merrony * Though packed with detail, Dominic Perring's book is well written and easy to read. For the scholar or the general reader seeking an up-to-date, forensic examination of Roman London, this comprehensive book is an essential tool. * Derek Birks, Aspects of History * This fascinating book does much more than tell the story which is briefly summarised above. It is packed with analysis of individual buildings and discussion of social history. It does not pre-suppose extensive background knowledge. Anyone who enjoys history, whether or not they are a classicist, will read this work with great interest. * Rupert Jackson, Classics for All * A closely argued, authoritative and convincing account...I suspect this book will set the standard for overviews of Roman London for many years - the point of reference for budding academics and interested punters. * Anthony Webb, Popular History Books * A truly remarkable achievement. * Martin Henig, Journal of the British Archaeological Association * It only remains to record that this book's production is excellent in every way..., the publication is a joy to read and to consult. Author and publisher deserve our profound thanks. * Henig Martin, JBAA * This is an excellent book for teachers, schools and students to be engaging with and will make a fine addition to any school library. * Timothy Adelani, Journal of Classics Teaching *
