Intro -- CONTENTS / SOMMAIRE -- Foreword / Avant-propos -- FRONTIERS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE -- FRONTIÈRES DE L´EMPIRE ROMAIN -- THE SAXON SHORE AND THE MARITIME COAST -- LE LITUS SAXONICUM ET LA CÔTE MARITIME.

Sommario/riassunto

The North Sea and Channel coasts form the geographic frontier of the Roman Empire with the sea - the edge of the then known world. This border represents a page in military maritime history, but its coasts, in Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium and France, contain archaeological sites of high heritage value that deserve a large audience.
