"Roman Britain in 1914" by Professor F. Haverfield is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work presents a comprehensive overview of archaeological finds and developments concerning Roman Britain during the year 1914, capturing the impacts of the historical context, particularly the onset of World War I, on archaeological efforts. It discusses various discoveries and excavations, including details about military structures, inscriptions, and civilian life during the Roman occupation. At the start of the text, Haverfield introduces the primary aim of this volumeāto summarize significant archaeological finds from 1914, including a technical survey of inscriptions uncovered in that year. He notes that despite a decline in discoveries compared to previous years, several notable excavations were conducted at sites such as Wroxeter, Corbridge, and Holt. The opening portion delves into specific finds, discussing their implications for understanding the Roman military presence in Britain and the ongoing scholarly discourse around these significant archaeological projects. Haverfield's methodical approach implies a rich tapestry of Roman history intertwined with contemporary concerns, as the looming war affects archaeological pursuits.
