Gloucestershire boasts a Roman heritage of great significance; from the colonia of Gloucester and civitas capital of Cirencester, and the Cotswold villas of Chedworth and Woodchester, to the temples of Uley and Lydney. However, recent work in the Thames and Severn Valleys as well as the Forest of Dean show us another, equally important, side of life in Gloucestershire during the Roman period. This long-awaited and strikingly illustrated new work brings our understanding of the Romans in modern-day Gloucestershire up to date, incorporating the many recent developments in fieldwork and excavation, and showcasing the latest discoveries of sites and artefacts.
