Bibliography

This is a sizeable bibliography of important books on Roman Britain. The author, year of publication and title are given. Principle texts are in bold.

The main historical text for the period is the Roman History of Ammianus Marcellinus; I used the 1935 translation by John C Rolfe. For the early fifth century, the key texts are The Ecclesiastical History of the English People by the Venerable Bede, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles and De Exidio Britanniae by Gildas. None of these three works are directly contemporary with the early fifth century, and do not always agree on certain dates and events, so must be read with a pinch of salt.
