Britannia is Trow’s Roman-era historical fiction series, set in the period of Roman occupation of Britain. The four books — The Wall, The Watchmen, The Warlords, and World of Britannia — were published across 2014 and 2016, covering the physical and political geography of the occupation with the attention to period detail that characterizes Trow’s historical work.
The Wall is a natural starting point, centering on Hadrian’s Wall as both a physical structure and a symbol of the empire’s ambitions and limits. The series works through themes of Roman authority, indigenous resistance, and the complicated lives of soldiers stationed at the edge of empire.
