Britons and Romans in Eastern Yorkshire

von Peter Halkon

Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Parisi were a tribe located somewhere within the present day East Riding of Yorkshire, UK, known from a brief reference by Ptolemy. They were originally immigrants from Gaul and share their name with the tribe that occupied modern day France. Fairly obvious from their name, they gave the French capital its name. The investigation of the Parisi began in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, following the trend for antiquarian exploration elsewhere in Britain. Before that the remains of Roman buildings encountered in medieval East Yorkshire were treated with little respect and used as a resource.The Parisi tells this captivating story of the history of the archaeology of the Parisi, from the initial investigations in the sixteenth century right through to modern day investigations.
