Description

Examining the chronology of, and the reasons for the decline in Christianity and the continuation of Celtic tradition in Late Roman Britain over the fourth century, Dorothy Watts discusses the nature and fate of the pagan cults and temples. In the process she makes use of startling new archaeological evidence, including a fresh analysis of the controversial rite of decapitated burial.
