Julius Caesar and Roman Britain, 1959, Series 561

Julius Caesar and Roman Britain was the  was the 8th title in the 561 series, colourfully written by L du Garde Peach and illustrated by John Kenney.

Julius Caesar actually has very little space dedicated to him – the Roman most mentioned in Agricola.   The book also deals with Boadicea (as it’s written in the book) Druids, Hadrian’s Wall and the story of Caractacus.  Some brilliant, memorable images in this one.
