Outside the north gate of Venta Belgarum, Roman Winchester, a great
cemetary stretched for 500 yards along the road to Cirencester.
Excavations at Lankhills from 1967 to 1972 uncovered 451 graves,
many elaborately furnished, at the northern limits of this
cemetery, and dating from the fourth century A.D. This book, the
second in a two-part study of Venta Belgarum, which forms the third
volume of Winchester Studies, describes the excavations of these
burials and analyses in detail both the graves and their contents.
There are detailed studies and important re-assessments of many
categories of object, but it is the information about late Roman
burial, religion, and society which is of special interest.
