Roman Roads in Britain (1903) was a book written by Thomas Codrington and published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge in autumn 1903.
Codrington deplored the impact of the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester by the eighteenth century forger Charles Bertram, published in 1757 as De Situ Britanniae ("On the Situation of Britain").
However Codrington bemoaned "Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes undeserved on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate."
[2] Francis J. Haverfield, a professor of ancient history, reviewed this edition, saying that whilst he appreciated the accuracy of the surveying, "the surveyor has excluded the geographer".
He also expressed dissatisfaction that Codrington had not effectively reviewed previous studies of the Roman Roads, and fails to address more detailed issues arising in particular circumstances.
