Villas, Sanctuaries and Settlement in the Romano-British
Countryside had its genesis in a conference held at the British
Museum in 2009 and brings together a range of papers on buildings
that have been categorised as 'villas', mainly in Roman Britain,
from the Isle of Wight to Shropshire. It comprises the first such
survey for almost half a century. While some of these structures
were indeed country houses and the centres of agricultural estates
as their designation as 'villas' implies, others are here shown to
have been administrative or industrial centres, hunting lodges or
religious sanctuaries, or a combination of more than one such
function. The art associated with these prestige structures and its
relevance to their function is also considered.
