Brings together in one volume for the very first time the results of a major re-examination of the site of the Roman town of Isurium Brigantum (Aldborough, in North Yorkshire), with recent geophysical surveys and a re-evaluation of earlier antiquarian work and archaeological fieldwork and excavations - some never before published. Provides historians and archaeologists with exciting new information about the topography and development of Isurium Brigantum and its later landscape, together with a thorough review of the town in the broader context of Roman Britain and the western Empire. Reveals most of the town and its environs, allowing Isurium Brigantum's development from the second century AD to the medieval period to be mapped with great accuracy.
