Abstract
Roman Policy in Northern Britain THE extent to which recent archæological excavation demonstrates the development of policy in Roman Britain and the underlying causes, upon which recorded history is supplemented, is indicated by I. A. Richmond in Antiquity of September 1940. The political character of northern Britain in the period is determined by two closely related factors—forest and fell—which gave cover to enemies and prevented the growth of flourishing agricultural communities capable of developing social instincts receptive of civilization.
