'... a fine piece of scholarship that not only provides enough to interest specialists, with its new assessments of old finds and also more recent discoveries ... ' Journal of Roman Archaeology; 'What was special about Curle's report of his excavation at Newstead fort, published in 1911, is captured by a phrase in its title, repeated in that of this new book: "and its people". ... This was something new, as some of the contributors to this beautifully presented and sensibly priced volume make clear.' British Archaeology; 'This is a very broad-ranging and engaging volume, demonstrating effectively how different fieldwork and materials investigation techniques have provided complementary information that enhances our understanding.' Archaeology Scotland; 'The sum of all the contributions is an essential volume for any student of the Roman military in Scotland, with the contents equally suitable for the general reader or the academic, presented in a high-quality publication.' Antiquaries Journal; '... a fitting tribute and an essential companion to a landmark publication.' Brittania
