Imperial threat and the transformation of landscape The Spatial history of Roman Britain

The paper considers some perspectives of research of Romano-British space and land-scape. Last decades were marked by the significant increase of the publications focused on the problems of the transformation of the island in Roman period. This 'spatial turn' seems to be far from the end, and the key terms and concepts are still requiring theoretical rethinking. But as one can see now, the study of Romano-British space and cultural land-scape allows to make another step towards the creation of a new multivocal narrative, combining different views on the regional change I-IV AD: subjective Roman and objective archaeological ones.
