Romano-Celtic élites and their religion: a study of archaeological sites in Gloucestershire

Abstract

Roman-Celtic Temples in Britain represent a unique portrayal of both the influence of the Romans upon the communities in Iron Age Britain, but also the continuing presence of native religious traditions. Based upon the archaeological evidence from the county of Gloucestershire, Geoff Adams presents a comprehensive analysis of the social priorities exhibited among the native élites and how this affected the development of Celtic religion in the region.Geoff Adams is currently as Associate Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History at the University of New England, Australia.
