Module description
The aim of a History special subject is to provide final year single honours history students with an opportunity to study a relatively narrow and specialised subject in considerable depth and with substantial attention to original sources.
A range of special subjects will be available in each semester. Each new special subject course will be presented for approval separately, but will share the same module identifier. The module co-ordinator for Special Subjects will arrange for students' choice of special subject, in consultation with the degree scheme co-ordinator(s).
Content

Roman Britain and the Roman Army Dr Jeffrey Davies
