Would anyone please give a review of this book? Are the illustrations of reasonable quality? Does the text give citations/is it well researched? What are the strong points and weak points of the book? Thanks

Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867

Very short review based on what others already said obout it here on RAT:Text is nothing speciall,Some of the illustrations are well made some less and their main problem is that they are virtually all copies of he original artworks of famous and to Roman enthusiasts very well known authors like Graham Sumner and many others.It follows very closely artworks published first in osprey books for example.
