The nucleus of this study of Roman lettering is the appreciation of the peculiarities and construction of the lettering from which British alphabets have been derived. The book gives a unique analysis and exposition of the culminating achievement of Roman lettering craft – the inscription on the base of Trajan’s column in Rome, chosen because it is felt to represent the culminating achievement in Roman letter-craft.
