This study, focused on Gloucestershire, investigates the effect of
Roman occupation on native religious practice. It examines the
architecture and location of villas and Romano-Celtic temples,
finding them to be closely associated. Indeed it appears that the
more wealthy and Romanised villa sites are, the more likely they
are to have a Romano-celtic temple site in close proximity. Roman
customs were thus predominantly adopted by the local aristocracy,
both as a means of exerting their own power and status, and to
secure the backing of the Roman administration.
