A study of the complete transformation of the provinces of the early Roman empire, when all levels of society and all aspects of life were radically altered. Woolf repudiates traditional theories of `Romanization' and argues that each region remained unique. His study discusses the nature of Roman imperialism and notions of civilisation and the culture and society of pre-Roman Gaul. This study on the contrast between Iron Age and Roman Gaul focuses largely on the themes of urbanism and religion and draws heavily on recent archaeological research.

Industry Reviews

' ... a bold and far-reaching study, and a particularly valuable addition to the corpus of literature on the Western Roman provinces.' The Times Literary Supplement ' ... a stimulating and impressive achievement.' The Cambridge Archaeological Journal '[Greg Woolf] has ... produced a study that any serious student of the ancient world must read, and that is without question the best book on the western provinces written this decade.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review '... rich and versatile ... The book combines an enormous amount of detailed research with a decade of profound reflection.' The Classical Review '... many scholars will find it a useful source of reference ... original and scholarly ... it belongs on the reading list of the many undergraduate course-units to which it will be pertinent ... invaluable introduction written for an intelligent audience with little prior knowledge ... university library copies stand to become well thumbed by an audience spanning all levels. ... a thought-provoking book that has much to teach authors on Roman Britain.' Journal of Roman Studies
