That said, there are a number of areas in which I felt that Todd was making assumptions which can't be supported by the available evidence, or which seem to have a distinct cultural bias in them. I also wasn't wild about the fact that he consistently referred to the native Britons as 'barbarians.' Surely that is both a label which is only valid from a Roman point-of-view, and one which is no more or less clumsy than simply referring to the inhabitants as 'British'? There are also a number of areas in which the scholarship simply isn't up-to-date, as the book was published in 1981.
Anyway, a good introduction to a subject which has a huge bibliography, but not a work which can be relied on to any great extent. Recommended, but with reservations ( )
