Biography
C.R. Whittaker is a fellow of Churchill College Cambridge, and a former University Lecturer in Ancient History at the University of Cambridge.
'[Whittaker's] thoughtful and insightful comments on frontiers are always worth reading, and the book therefore provides much to consider.' – Britannia
'Reflecting contemporary scholarship on the Roman frontiers, Whittaker, a noted specialist in the subject, brings together several essays that examine the “edges” of the empire ... most importantly, how our map-oriented perception of geography affects differs from that of the Romans, who lacked maps. An important contribution to frontier studies.' - The NYMAS Review, The New York Military Affairs Symposium
