Verhalen van de Romeinse kust
Paperback || Erick Kila || Nieuwe Haagsche B.V., Uitgeverij De

Ter hoogte van vakantiepark Kijkduin verscheen rond 150 na Chr. een ruiterfortje. In die periode kwamen er waarschijnlijk meer kleine kustforten en wachttorens (ook bij de Scheveningse weg). Onderzoek levert steeds scherper het beeld op van een system...
