The Empire Stops Here: A Journey along the Frontiers of the Roman World by Philip Parker

2.0

For my purposes, too much travelogue not enough history. I hoped for an exercise in frontier studies but there isn't that sort of analysis. I bailed.

Didn't help that I happen to be into Josephus [b:The Jewish War|415654|The Jewish War|Flavius Josephus|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1331363067s/415654.jpg|404837] at the moment, and am taught once again, there's so much more incident and anecdote in a primary source.
