The next four cover the general themes of soldier and civilian, economy and society, government, religion. The first eight take the narrative from Claudius' invasion (AD 43) to the death of the last emperor to attempt the conquest of Britain, Septimius Severus (AD 211). They are treated by chronology or theme in 14 chapters. The author demonstrates his unrivalled ability to read and understand Roman inscriptions and their importance as a source of historical knowledge. All Latin terms in the narrative and commentary are translated and explained. Each inscription is presented in the original (in Latin, except for eight in Greek), followed by a translation and informal commentary they are linked by the narrative which they illustrate, and more than half (236) are accompanied by photographs. It collects 487 inscriptions (mostly on stone, but also on metal, wood, tile and ceramic), the majority from Britain but many from other Roman provinces and Italy, so as to illustrate the history and character of Roman Britain (AD 43-410). Britannia Romana: Roman inscriptions and Roman Britain' is based on the author's 40 years' experience of the epigraphy of Roman Britain.
