Where to start with Roman naval history

Simon Elliott's books provide an English-language starting point for the Roman world behind the lecture's tentative North Sea reference.

Question

What English-language sources would help with the possible Roman naval action and its period?

Short answer

Simon Elliott's books are the recommended starting point for Roman history and the Roman navy.

Notes

A viewer asks for English-language sources on the possible Roman action near Dogger Bank and on the wider period. Simon Elliott's books are recommended as an accessible starting point for Roman history. Elliott's broader work on Rome includes the Roman navy, which he has also discussed on Bilge Pumps. The recommendation does not turn the lecture's tentative North Sea reference into a documented battle. It instead gives viewers a research path for understanding Roman Britain and its maritime forces.
