The Acts of John is here rescued from a long history of censorship
and extensive editing that sought to whitewash aspects of the text
that had become uncomfortable for later generations of the church.
Although several tantalizing tales are now lost, what remains is a
compelling story of the convert Drusiana, who was twice the victim
of lust-once from her husband, who imprisoned her in a tomb, and
later from an outsider, whose love sickness drove her to the tomb.
This study edition features a detailed introduction that sorts out
the complicated manuscript tradition together with cross references
and notes on sources that enable in-depth study. The Early
Christian Apocrypha series offers fresh new translations of the
major apocryphal Acts that survive from the early period of the
Christian church. These non-canonical writings are crucial for
determining the complex history of Christian origins. Each text
comes with cross-references, notes, and commentary. An extensive
introduction also sets out the challenge of recovering and
reconstructing the original text.

The site of 1 Poultry, excavated in the 1990s, is located near the
Bank of England in the heart of the City of London. It lay
immediately west of the point where the main east-west road through
Roman London bridged the Walbrook stream and proved to be one of
the most significant archaeological sites ever excavated in the
City, with an unparalleled sequence of buildings, roads and open
spaces. A timber drain of AD 47 beneath the main road is the
earliest, securely dated structure yet known from Londinium and a
pottery shop destroyed in the Boudican revolt gives a snapshot of
life in AD 60/61. A 2nd-century AD writing tablet preserves the
only evidence for the sale of a slave found in Britain to date,
while the 3rd- and 4th-century buildings on the site provide a rare
demonstration of the continuities and changes that occurred in
Roman urban life. The key sequence from 1 Poultry provides the
majority of the evidence but is augmented by findings from
Docklands Light Railway sites at Bucklersbury, Lothbury and Lombard
Street and other work at 72-75 Cheapside, 76-80 Cheapside, 36-37
King Street and Mansion House. Together, the sites provide a
comprehensive record of the development of Londinium over the
entire Roman period.
