ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The author is indebted to many individuals who have helped with
MinimLls
secundus
in a variety of ways: to Lindsay Allason-Jones, Elizabeth Hartley,
Patrick Ottaway and Jeremy Paterson for research into Roman York; to the
Birley family and all at Vindolanda for help with the early chapters; to Niall
Rudd for corrections to the Latin; to Rachel Wood for countless improvements
to the text and lay-out; to the many teachers who took part in the testing
programme and who provided feedback and encouragement, especially Oliver
Makower and Peter Jones, who provided constant support.
The creativity, imagination and support of my Advisory Panel transformed the
text; my deep thanks to Jean Cross, Helen Forte, Wendy Hunt, Pam Macklin,
Dawn Perry, Brian Sparkes, Diana Sparkes and Tim W heeler. Adriana
Goldenberg advised on the Romanian language.
My best thanks are owed to Nick, Joanna and Kate, who have stuck by me as
minimus
has become
maximLlS.
