  • Two Studies on Roman London. Part B: Population Decline and Ritual Landscapes in Antonine London
    Two Studies on Roman London. Part B: population decline and ritual landscapes in Antonine London In this paper I turn my attention to the changes that took place in London in the mid to late second century. Until recently the prevailing orthodoxy amongst students of Roman London was that the settlement suffered a major population decline in this period. Recent excavations have shown that not all properties were blighted by abandonment or neglect, and this has encouraged some to suggest that the evidence for decline may have been exaggerated.1 Here I wish to restate the case for a significant decline in housing density in the period circa AD 160, but also draw attention to evidence for this being a period of increased investment in the architecture of religion and ceremony. New discoveries of temple complexes have considerably improved our ability to describe London’s evolving ritual landscape. This evidence allows for the speculative reconstruction of the main processional routes through the city. It also shows that the main investment in ceremonial architecture took place at the very time that London’s population was entering a period of rapid decline. We are therefore faced with two puzzling developments: why were parts of London emptied of houses in the middle second century, and why was this contraction accompanied by increased spending on religious architecture? This apparent contradiction merits detailed consideration. The causes of the changes of this period have been much debated, with most emphasis given to the economic and political factors that reduced London’s importance in late antiquity. These arguments remain valid, but here I wish to return to the suggestion that the Antonine plague, also known as the plague of Galen, may have been instrumental in setting London on its new trajectory.2 The possible demographic and economic consequences of this plague have been much debated in the pages of this journal, with a conservative view of its impact generally prevailing.

The earliest and most complete reference to this deity can be seen in Vedic texts from 1500 BCE. Documentary evidence in rock art, and sixth century BCE Tartessian inscriptions demonstrate that the ancient Celtic world saw this deity of the land as a Horse Queen that ruled the land and granted fertility. Evidence suggests that she could grant sovereignty rights to humans by uniting with them (literally or symbolically), through ingestion, or intercourse. The Horse Queen is represented, or alluded to in such divergent areas as Bronze Age English hill figures, Celtic coinage, Roman horse deities, mediaeval and modern Celtic masked traditions. Even modern Welsh traditions, such as the Mari Lwyd, infer her existence and confirm the value of her symbolism in the modern world. 2 Lyle Tompsen, Student Number 28001102, Masters Dissertation Table of Contents List of definitions: ............................................................................................................ 8 Introduction ..................................................................................................................

  • ARTHUR of CAMELOT and ATHTHE-DOMAROS of CAMULODUNUM: a STRATIGRAPHY-BASED EQUATION PROVIDING a NEW CHRONOLOGY for 1St MIILLENNIUM ENGLAND
    1 Gunnar Heinsohn (15 June 2017) ARTHUR OF CAMELOT AND ATHTHE-DOMAROS OF CAMULODUNUM: A STRATIGRAPHY-BASED EQUATION PROVIDING A NEW CHRONOLOGY FOR 1st MIILLENNIUM ENGLAND “It seems probable that Camelot, Chrétien de Troyes’ [c. 1140-1190 AD] name for Arthur's Court, is derived directly from Camelod-unum, the name of Roman Colchester. The East Coast town was probably well-known to this French poet, though whether he knew of any specific associations with Arthur is unclear. […] John Morris [1973] suggests that Camulodunum might actually have been the High-King Arthur's Eastern Capital” (David Nash Ford 2000). "I think we can dispose of him [Arthur] quite briefly. He owes his place in our history books to a 'no smoke without fire' school of thought. [...] The fact of the matter is that there is no historical evidence about Arthur; we must reject him from our histories and, above all, from the titles of our books" (David N. Dumville 1977, 187 f.)

I BERICHT UIT BRITANNIA In 1976 is in Engeland te York(-Clementhorpe), het Romeinse Eboracum, een stuk gevonden van een plaat van grove zandsteen (“gritstone”), dat secundair gebruikt is in een na-middeleeuwse kalkoven. Van de plaat ís het rechter bovengedeelte bewaard gebleven; dit is 63 x 49 x 14 cm groot. Op de voorzijde zijn nog sporen te zien van een tabula ansata, alsmede een gedeelte van een bijzonder interessante Latijnse inscriptie (pl. 25 A). De vondst is onlangs door dr. R. S.O. Tomlin bekendgemaakt in het aan Romeins Engeland gewijde tijdschrift Britannia, jg. 8, 1977, 430 v., nr. 18. De nieuwste epigrafische aanwinst uit York bevat het eerste gegeven uit Britannia dat rechtstreeks in verband kan worden gebracht met de cultus van Nehalennia in het mondingsgebied van de Schelde.

  • Aquae Sulis. the Origins and Development of a Roman Town
    7 AQUAE SULIS. THE ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF A ROMAN TOWN Peter Davenport Ideas about Roman Bath - Aquae Sulis - based on excavation work in the town in the early 1990s were briefly summarised in part of the article I wrote in Bath History Vol.V, in 1994: 'Roman Bath and its Hinterland'. Further studies and excavations in Walcot and the centre of town have since largely confirmed what was said then, but have also added details and raised some interesting new questions. Recent discoveries in other parts of the town have also contributed their portion. In what follows I want to expand my study of the evidence from recent excavations and the implications arising from them. The basic theme of this paper is the site and character of the settlement at Aquae Sulis and its origins. It has always been assumed that the hot springs have been the main and constant factor in the origins of Bath and the development of the town around them. While it would be foolish to deny this completely, the creation of the town seems to be a more complex process and to owe much to other factors. Before considering this we ought to ask, in more general terms, how might a town begin? With certain exceptions, there was nothing in Britain before the Roman conquest of AD43 that we, or perhaps the Romans, would recognise as a town. Celtic Britain was a deeply rural society. The status of hill forts, considered as towns or not as academic fashion changes, is highly debatable, but they probably acted as central places, where trade and social relationships were articulated or carried on in an organized way.
