The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the history of the Picts, the Romano-British Wall, and the Roman stations and vallum. The first chapter provides an overview of the Picts, including their origins, their language and culture, and their interactions with the Romans. The second chapter covers the construction of the Romano-British Wall and the reasons behind its construction. The third chapter describes the Roman stations and vallum, including their layout and function. Subsequent chapters cover topics such as the Pictish Wars, the decline of the Roman Empire, and the eventual abandonment of the Romano-British Wall. The book also includes illustrations and maps to help readers visualize the topics discussed.
