He deals in detail with the temple and its precinct and with the 'curse tablets' which have been deciphered to reveal the thoughts of Roman visitors. He then explains just how the bathing establishment was organized and explores the relationship between the spa and the town. We learn what life was like for the local inhabitants as well as for the visitors. Finally he charts the process of decline and decay during the 300 years after the Roman period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56297563160949,"sku":"9780752419022","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780752419022_a7f3f8dd-85ca-41eb-9079-2a8203706f41.jpg?v=1786016195"},{"product_id":"fishbourne-roman-palace","title":"Fishbourne Roman Palace","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe discovery, during the early 1960s, of the site of a Roman Palace and its garden at Fishbourne, near Chichester, remains the most important and exciting event in Romano-British archaeology over the last half-century. Since his original excavation, Barry Cunliffe has kept in close contact with work on the site and more is now known about the building itself and about its place in the development of Roman Britain. It is still believed that this huge building - covering 10 acres and furnished with many mosaic floors and other luxurious appointments - was indeed a palace, probably belonging to Tiberius Claudius Togidubnus, who has been granted Roman citizenship under Claudius and who as a client king was responsible for governing the area in which the palace was situated. As remarkable as the palace itself is the large formal garden, laid out with paths, hedges, fountains and basins. No comparable Roman garden has been discovered west of Italy. Professor Cunliffe describes the whole story of the historic excavation, unfolding the history of the site from the early military beginnings down to the final destruction of the palace by fire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57481388818805,"sku":"9780752414089","price":27.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780752414089.jpg?v=1786089646"},{"product_id":"danebury-hillfort","title":"Danebury Hillfort","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn extremely well-preserved example of an Iron Age hillfort, Danebury is typical of many in Wessex but made exceptional by being the most thoroughly excavated and explored hillfort in the whole of Europe.\u003c\/strong\u003e Barry Cunliffe recreates the hillfort’s past using maps, plans, reconstructions and photographs, giving us unique insight into the great historical monument, the surrounding landscape and farms and the lives of Danebury’s Iron Age inhabitants.
