This book looks at the religious beliefs of the people of the roman
province of Britain and at the gods they worshipped. Little
literary evidence survies and it is therefore necessary to rely
almost wholly on epitraphic and icongraphical representations. The
book firstr examines the pre-Roman Celtic background to
Romano-British religion from about 500BC. The chapters following
analyse the nature of the evidence; the introduction of Roman
religion to the province; oriental cults including Christianity;
the integration of Roman with pre-existing British and other Celtic
cults, and the resulting composite religion which thus emerged. The
final chapter examines stylised Celtic representations of anonymous
divinities.
