'It should be clear that this is one of the most important and original books to be published on Roman Britain for many years, and one which all researchers into and students of Roman Britain will find themselves referring to again and again.' Greg Woolf, Ronald J. Mellor Professor of Ancient History, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)

'This is a thought-provoking book on the question of the relationship between Roman and native and the process of cultural change; Millett has set us an agenda for future research in a subject area where there is still a huge harvest to reap.' Michael Fulford, Professor of Archaeology, University of Reading

'This is a thoughtful and absorbing monograph which deserves the widest readership and discussion. It is brimful of ideas and insights, underpinned by an impressive series of tables, which collect together a vast array of data. Fundamental to the approach is an emphasis on theoretical and statistical considerations, coupled with a close awareness of the work of some contemporary ancient historians.' Timothy W. Potter, Former Keeper of Prehistory and Early Europe at the British Museum
