Hang on, let me just turn up my pomposity by one notch...<br>
<br>
<strong>An important resource for the study of the Roman occupation of Scotland becomes available in a new form today with the appearance on the web of James Curle's landmark 1911 book <em>A Roman Frontier Post and Its People: The Fort of Newstead in the Parish of Melrose</em>.<br>
<br>
Prepared by The Armatura Press for The Trimontium Trust - with funding from The Heritage Lottery Fund, Tweed Forum, and others who have contributed to Phase II of the Tweed Rivers Interpretation Project - this digital version retains the original pagination of Curle's book.<br>
<br>
The pages of Curle's huge tome (432 + xix pp, with 61 text figures, 100 plates, and 4 plans) have been scanned, converted into text, and had hyperlinks added wherever cross-references appear (as in, for example, the index). The online edition of Curle can be found at:<br>
<br>

<br>
The only thing better than reading press releases is writing them ;-)<br>
