After a discussion of the problems of urban definition and typology, Russo examines the background of Romano-British urbanism in its prime and in its late Roman transformations. He demonstrates that late Roman towns were virtually abandoned before the Anglo-Saxon invasions. The emporia--new types of Anglo-Saxon towns--are analyzed on the basis of written and archaeological evidence and are compared with continental emporia. Finally, the origin and growth of the Anglo-Saxon burgh is considered from its eighth-century Mercian beginnings to the better known cases of King Alfred and his successors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Praeger Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45088018202775,"sku":"9780313300790","price":9566.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780313300790.webp?v=1767267098","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/town-origins-and-development-in-early-england-c-400-950-a-d-9780313300790","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
