OS touring map of Roman Britain - By: M. littler, 20 Dec 2008
The map is pretty much what you expect of a UK touring map coloured to indicate heights (green - brown), but with the modern road information all changed to a light grey to make it less obtrusive. Roman sites are then markedin coloured symbols & words. The map is double sided with the South on one side & the North on the other, split near Kendal

The quantity of Roman informationin this map is many times greater than thatin the "Ancient Britain" Map, & is much clearer by virtue of the colours used. The network of Roman roads are markedin red & clearly indicate towns & cities, although many of the marked sites seem to be away from obvious roads.

It would probably better suit electronic publishing, where you could choose to switch on & off different information, to give you clearer views of what you want.

For studying Roman Britain, I think this would be a good place to start. If you need it on a wall, then buy two copies.
Excellent reference - By: P. Baylis, 09 Jan 2004
If you're looking for a map that gives you all the known Roman sitesin a particular area, then this map will be very useful. I was slightly disappointed to discover that it can't be used as a wall poster, because Scotland & Northern England appear on the back. There is also a lot of additional information printed around the sides of the map and, although this is probably of interest to some, I would have preferred a more traditional map of the UK with less of the fashionable multimedia-style trimmings.
An excellent map that YOU really need in your collection. - By: sewell01@chek.com, 03 Apr 2002
A very thorough detailed map showing many features of lifein Roman Britain. Locations of Villas, Battles, Forts, Camps, Kilns & much more make this the best reference tool available at present.
I have personally passed on useful comments to archaeologists with reference to details on this map. They too are ordering copies to see the information that they are missing !
