{"product_id":"the-roman-signal-stations-of-james-j-browne-9781976094460","title":"The Roman Signal Stations of the North Yorkshire Coast.: The Curious Case of the Staithes Mermaids Curse.","description":"\"Acta est fabula\", meaning it is all over was a phrase often used by our Roman forebears. For all their pomp, power and ingenuity, our Latin speaking ancestors are just about as dead and gone as Shelley's Ozymandias. The phrase, acte est fabula, also perfectly summarises the Roman reign in what is now called Yorkshire, and it is knuckle close to describing the present state of the defences they built to protect its coastline.Take a brief tour of these soon to be lost Roman defences from the comfort of your armchair before they are lost forever. Illustrated with full colour photographs, and containing local folk tales, this book will certainly entice the reader to visit the North Yorkshire coastline and see these last remaining signal stations for themselves.TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NO MAN.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James J.
