Summary:

This book examines the evidence for Roman period temples and religion in South-East Britain.  It covers both native and imported religious beliefs and the associated temples, shrines and ritual practices.  With references to discoveries much further afield in Britain and beyond, the book also provides  up-to-date reviews and thoughts regarding various aspects of religious behaviour in Roman Britain which will be of more than local interest.
