This thesis explores the level of change in the Roman officer corps in Britain from A.D. 43 to 410. This is a period of conquest and stability operations followed by a slow withdraw of the Roman military presence on the island. In addition to generic information on the Roman military during this period, information is drawn from the sites of Metchley, Inchtuthil, and York. Cemeteries and graves are briefly examined. Results are largely limited by the extent of excavation in the living areas of these sites, however some evidence for the amount of change and leadership structure was obtained.
