The year is AD 133. Hadrian is Emperor of Rome and all its vast empire, including Britannia.\r\n\r\n The greater part of that island has long been under imperial rule and the Roman legions control most of the land, quelling uprisings and building new forts and towns. Around the fortress of Eboracum (now known as York), a bustling garrison settlement is developing, while along the north-west frontier of Hadrian's empire, the legions are completing the construction of a mighty wall.   Introducing us to this world is Senovara, born into the Parisi, a local tribe whose customs have been little changed by Roman rule.\r\n\r\n But she is also the young wife of Quintus, a veteran of the 6th Legion Victrix. Settling in Quintus's home is both bewildering and awe-inspiring for Senovara as she seeks to adjust to Eboracum's cosmopolitan environment, come to terms with new customs and reconcile their cultural differences.   Senovara finds that daily life in the settlement can be harsh  a constant struggle to provide her family with fresh food, water and warmth.\r\n\r\n Yet there is much enjoyment to be had as well, at the public baths or with new friends. There is also the excitement of religious festivals and in the regular news from the frontier, and peril in the form of a deadly fever which sweeps through Eboracum, forcing Senovara and her children to flee to her brother in the countryside.   Roman Woman is an immersive, compelling narrative which gets to the heart of what life was like for everyday people in Roman Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
