The Religious World of Roman Britain<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all know what Roman gods are like, at least in the museum. Made of stone, usually dressed or undressed with very human faces and names.
\nBut this is only half the story.
\nThis course is going to explore what we know of the religious life of Roman Britain using the archaeological evidence as our guide and discussing how different influences shaped the various practices over time and what happened to it at the end of the Roman Province. Please note, we are not going to talk about Christianity or Judaism this term, as I am planning a series on the Archaeology of Christianity and Judaism before 400 for the Spring.<\/p>\n
