Roman 'small towns' were an important link between the urban civitas capitals and the rural population and offer an ideal case study for examining the extent of Roman influence permeating into the rural provinces. Thomas Rust's study looks at 67 Romano-British sites, including Alcester, Bath, Cambridge, Dragonby, Ilchester, Richborough, Rochester and Whitchurch, exploring the extent to which they adopted and adapted to Roman cultural influences. In particular, Rust traces this 'Romanisation' through changes in building traditions, especially the shift from timber to masonry from the mid-2nd to early 3rd century. The study includes a gazetteer of sites, and lots of useful tables and illustrations.
