Overview

""Prehistoric & Roman Wales"" offers a comprehensive archaeological survey of Wales, tracing its cultural and structural evolution from the earliest human inhabitants through the era of Roman rule. Written by the distinguished archaeologist Mortimer Wheeler, this seminal work examines the diverse landscape of Wales, focusing on the material remains that define its long pre-history. The study begins with the Stone and Bronze Ages, detailing the development of megalithic structures and early social organizations. It progresses into the Iron Age, highlighting the rise of hillforts and the distinct tribal cultures of the region. A significant portion of the volume is dedicated to the Roman conquest and subsequent administration of Wales. Wheeler provides meticulous detail on military fortifications, road networks, and the integration of the Welsh territories into the broader Roman Empire. By blending field observations with scholarly analysis, the book provides a foundational understanding of the strategic importance and cultural complexity of ancient Wales. This work remains an essential resource for students and scholars interested in British archaeology, ancient history, and the enduring legacy of Rome in the British Isles.
