Museum of Gloucester Activity From the museum to your home ROMAN GLOUCESTER To the lucky one, Create your own mosaic, smell the Roman baths, create a bag of healing aromas... We've created some activities inspired by the collections of Glevum (Roman Gloucester) in the Museum of Gloucester. If you'd like to share your creation, send us a picture! Or you could bring it to the Museum on Brunswick Road when we're able to open safely and welcome you back. We hope that you're inspired by the collection and we hope that one day soon you can come and see these objects in the Museum... With best wishes... Included in your well-being pack is: Cardboard | Sellotape | Scissors Lavender | A peppermint teabag A camomile teabag | Cloth bag #GloucesterCan #MuseumWellbeing MAKE YOUR OWN AROMA Did you know the Romans used lavender as medicine? Lavender was used to treat indigestion, headaches, sore throats and for skin conditions. Do we still use lavender? In ancient Rome, Chamomile was used to help soldiers take courage during times of war. Today we think of chamomile as being good to calm us down and many people drink it as tea. Imagine what Roman Gloucester smelt like! Mint was used by Romans to flavour drinking water and steeped in their baths. After they brought mint to Europe, the people of the Middle Ages used the stems and leaves for insect bites and stomach aches. Would you bathe in mint? MAKE YOUR OWN HEALING AROMA PURSE Carefully open the teabags of tea Mix your herbs together - experiment with them! Grind them with stones or spoons to release the smells Put them in your bag for you to keep Ask an adult if you can try some of the drinking tea... Is yours for courage, good health or to go in a bath? #GloucesterCan #MuseumWellbeing instagram.com/museumofgloucester facebook.com/museumofgloucester museumofgloucester.co.uk/wellbeing MAKE YOUR OWN MOSAIC Did you know there is a Roman mosaic under the carpet at the Museum of Gloucester? A Roman mosaic is a pattern, or image, made from coloured cubes of stone. The cube of stone is called a tessara. Each tessara has 6 sides. One of these sides is always smooth, as this was the top (surface) of the mosaic. It was worn smooth by Roman feet nearly 2000 years ago (as well as lots of scrubbing and cleaning!) These colours come from Cotswold Limestone (greys and creams), Severn Valley Lias Limestone (blue), Forest of Dean Sandstone (yellows and browns) and Roman pottery and tiles (reds and oranges). Rich Romans would have mosaics on the floors of their houses, they were designed by craftsmen from specialist workshops. There was a well-known workshop not too far away in Cirencester (Roman Corinium). Cut your paper into shapes Make your pattern on a plate Sellotape over the top then peel off Fold the edges around to the back Share your designs with us! #GloucesterCan #MuseumWellbeing instagram.com/museumofgloucester facebook.com/museumofgloucester museumofgloucester.co.uk/wellbeing ROMAN GLOUCESTER Glevum (Roman Gloucester) was established around AD 48, at an important crossing of the River Severn and near to the Fosse Way (a Roman road) which marked the early front line after the Roman invasion of Britain. Initially, a Roman fort was established at present-day Kingsholm. Twenty years later, a larger replacement fortress was built on slightly higher ground nearby, centred on present-day Gloucester Cross, and a civilian settlement grew around it. In AD 97, the city was designated a Colonia by the Emperor Nerva. A Colonia was where retired legionaries lived and enjoyed the high status of being a city within the Roman Empire. The legionaries were given farmland in the surrounding district and could be called upon as a Roman auxiliary armed force. The city was built within the legionary fortress and used the same street plan and ramparts. A large and impressive administrative basilica and forum market-place were built in the town, as well as many fine homes with mosaic floors. At its height, Glevum may have had a population of as many as 10,000 people. The entire area around Glevum was intensely Romanised in the second and third centuries AD. #GloucesterCan #MuseumWellbeing instagram.com/museumofgloucester facebook.com/museumofgloucester museumofgloucester.co.uk/wellbeing From the museum to your home ROMAN GLOUCESTER Oyster Shells Oysters were a really popular food in Roman Gloucester. The Romans thought that they were a powerful aphrodisiac and also to give strength to soldiers on the battlefield. Oysters were plentiful and found in the Severn Estuary. Archaeological digs in the city have found lots of Oyster shells in Roman rubbish heaps! There is a recipe book, written in the 4th century AD by Apicius (Rome’s answer to Gordon Ramsey). It has a tasty sauce for oysters: To oysters which want to be well seasoned, add pepper, lovage, yolks, vinegar, broth, oil, and wine; if you wish also add honey. Roman timber post This Oak timber post comes from a Roman gate, made nearly 2000 years ago. It was part of the “East Gate” to Roman Gloucester. Gloucester was called Glevum by the Romans. The Oak tree was at least 200 years old when it was cut down to make the gate. We would have expected it to have decayed away in that time, but layers of clay sealed it in and protected it for all this time. #GloucesterCan #MuseumWellbeing instagram.com/museumofgloucester facebook.com/museumofgloucester museumofgloucester.co.uk/wellbeing From the museum to your home ROMAN GLOUCESTER Amphora An amphora was a large storage “jar” that was used by the Romans for storing wine, olive oil and grain. Unlike our storage jars today, they were made of rough, unglazed pottery and usually quite large. Many were over a metre tall! The shape of the amphora made it easier to stack them together to transport them on ships, and to pour out the contents. They were sealed with wax, wet clay, wood or packed leaves to keep the contents fresh. Mortarium A mortarium was a Roman “food processor”. They were made of pottery and had a grit roughened surface to help grind herbs and spices for sauces. The Museum has several complete mortaria and many fragments, as most Roman households would have at least one. Many people still use a pestle and mortar to grind spices in their kitchen today! You could use one for your aroma purse! #GloucesterCan #MuseumWellbeing instagram.com/museumofgloucester facebook.com/museumofgloucester museumofgloucester.co.uk/wellbeing Did you know there is an important Roman chamber and Roman wall underneath the Boots shop? EASTGATE CHAMBER Roman stone blocks These large limestone blocks were brought all the way from the Cotswold Hills by horse and cart. They are all shaped entirely by hand, using only hammers and chisels. They were lifted into position using a wooden crane and moving them into place was a dangerous job! This Roman wall is so strong that it has been used to support the Boots building above it! Can you see the concrete beam resting on the wall? #GloucesterCan #MuseumWellbeing instagram.com/museumofgloucester facebook.com/museumofgloucester museumofgloucester.co.uk/wellbeing From the museum to your home Tell us what you think!

To learn about this, let's start at the beginning - and then we can follow on with some later history. Kingsholm Some time after AD 49 the Roman army - we cannot be certain but probably the 20th legion or elements of it, from Colchester - built a fortress at Kingsholm near an Iron-Age settlement beside the then course of the Severn. There appears to have been two major phases of construction, the later one bringing the site to full legionary size. The use of the fortress and its continuity of occupation is uncertain, but its probable role was as a strategic base and support headquarters for campaigns in Wales. Because of flooding the location was an unsatisfactory one; this no doubt was one reason that around AD 66 it was abandoned and the army established a new fortress one km to the south, on an area of raised ground that would in due course become known as Gloucester, where there had been earlier occupation. A New Fortress The new fortress, rectangular in shape and covering an area of 17 hectares (43 acres), had turf faced and 'timber strapped' clay ramparts, 3.5m high, surmounted by a timber palisade and walkway, and fronted by wide steeply cut V-shaped ditches. Substantial timber gate towers pierced the rampart on each side and between them along the ramparts were other timber towers at intervals and at the rampart corners.

  • 8 Water and Decentring Urbanism in the Roman Period: Urban Materiality, Post-Humanism and Identity
    Adam Rogers 8 Water and Decentring Urbanism in the Roman Period: Urban Materiality, Post-Humanism and Identity Abstract: In this chapter, the relationship between water and urbanism in the Roman period is examined by looking at the ways in which water formed part of the urban fabric and the implica- tions of this for understanding urban development, urban lives and identities, that decentres approaches to Roman urbanism. Water reminds us that the dualism of ‘natural’ and ‘human- made’ components of settlements and landscapes needs to be studied and brought together through meaningful frameworks of analysis. ‘Decentring’ urbanism draws on different perspec- tives of urbanism and allows us to move away from the top-down Romanocentric approach to urban studies and look for additional perspectives and experiences. The example of water al- lows us to explore urbanism by looking at landscape, religion and ritual, and identity and experience. The paper focuses on the towns of Britain in the Roman era, with case studies of Colchester (Camulodunum), St Albans (Verulamium), London (Londinium), Lincoln (Lindum) and Winchester (Venta Belgarum), and reflects on the way in which provinces across the Em- pire differed in the nature of urban development and urban experience. There was no one Roman world, but many different worlds in the Roman era where there were different identities and experiences. Introduction This paper examines water as a component of towns in the Roman period and how we can look at the implications of water forming part of the urban materiality. Water can be used to develop decentred perspectives on these settlements and the experiences of inhabitants.

  • Then Arthur Fought the MATTER of BRITAIN 378 – 634 A.D
    Then Arthur Fought THE MATTER OF BRITAIN 378 – 634 A.D. Howard M. Wiseman Then Arthur Fought is a possible history centred on a possi- bly historical figure: Arthur, battle-leader of the dark-age (5th- 6th century) Britons against the invading Anglo-Saxons. Writ- ten in the style of a medieval chronicle, its events span more than 250 years, and most of Western Europe, all the while re- specting known history. Drawing upon hundreds of ancient and medieval texts, Howard Wiseman mixes in his own inventions to forge a unique conception of Arthur and his times. Care- fully annotated, Then Arthur Fought will appeal to anyone in- terested in dark-age history and legends, or in new frameworks for Arthurian fiction. Its 430 pages include Dramatis Personae, genealogies, notes, bibliography, and 20 maps. —— Then Arthur Fought is an extraordinary achievement. ... An absorbing introduction to the history and legends of the period [and] ... a fascinating synthesis. — from the Foreword by Patrick McCormack, author of the Albion trilogy. —— A long and lavishly detailed fictional fantasia on the kind of primary source we will never have for the Age of Arthur. ... soaringly intelligent and, most unlikely of all, hugely entertaining. It is a stunning achievement, enthusiastically recommended. — Editor’s Choice review by Steve Donoghue, Indie Reviews Editor, Historical Novel Society.

  • 229 Le Premier Tome, Consacre a La Province De Belgique, Reprend
    Besprechungen und Anzeigen 229 Le premier tome, consacre a la Province de Belgique, reprend quatre livraisons interes­ sant les villes d’Amiens, de Beauvais, de Grand et de Metz. Pour les tomes suivants, le critere de l’appartenance a une meme province a ete retenu pour le regroupement des monographies. La contribution sur la ville d’Amiens est signee par six collaborateurs auxquels s’est joint J. L. Massy, de la Direction des Antiquites de Picardie, qui est par ailleurs l’organisateur d’un colloque recent, tenu ä Saint-Riquier, sur les villes romaines de la Province de Belgique, dont le rapport est sous presse. De la Sorte, les nouvelles decouvertes ont ete utilement integrees a cette monographie. Retenons en particulier une bonne connaissance du quadril- lage urbain, heterogene dans sa conception et son evolution; Amiens aurait connu sous les Flaviens son extension maximale de 160 ha de superficie au moins; des le Ile siede, plusieurs insulae peripheriques sont abandonnees partiellement; au Bas-Empire, la surface emmuraillee n’est plus que d’une vingtaine d’hectares. La Bibliographie plus reduite concernant Beauvais temoigne de notre connaissance plus limitee sur cette agglomeration. Son perimetre urbain n’est connu avec precision que pour le Bas-Empire, gräce a l’enceinte enfermant 10 ha de superficie. Les elements d’urbanisme et les monuments ont ete peu etudies. Les structures urbaines et l’enceinte de Grand de 18 ha ne nous sont pas mieux revelees. Metz antique, en revanche, offre un perimetre et un quadrillage urbain mieux apprehen- des. On connait bien aussi certains edifices et le trace de l’enceinte du Bas-Empire.

  • Map 8 Britannia Superior Compiled by A.S
    Map 8 Britannia Superior Compiled by A.S. Esmonde-Cleary, 1996 with the assistance of R. Warner (Ireland) Introduction Britain has a long tradition of antiquarian and archaeological investigation and recording of its Roman past, reaching back to figures such as Leland in the sixteenth century. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the classically-educated aristocracy and gentry of a major imperial and military power naturally felt an affinity with the evidence for Rome’s presence in Britain. In the twentieth century, the development of archaeology as a discipline in its own right reinforced this interest in the Roman period, resulting in intense survey and excavation on Roman sites and commensurate work on artifacts and other remains. The cartographer is therefore spoiled for choice, and must determine the objectives of a map with care so as to know what to include and what to omit, and on what grounds. British archaeology already has a long tradition of systematization, sometimes based on regions as in the work of the Royal Commissions on (Ancient and) Historic Monuments for England (Scotland and Wales), but also on types of site or monument. Consequently, there are available compendia by Rivet (1979) on the ancient evidence for geography and toponymy; Wacher (1995) on the major towns; Burnham (1990) on the “small towns”; Margary (1973) on the roads that linked them; and Scott (1993) on villas. These works give a series of internally consistent catalogs of the major types of site. Maps of Roman Britain conventionally show the island with its modern coastline, but it is clear that there have been extensive changes since antiquity, and that the conventional approach risks understating the differences between the ancient and the modern.

  • *Magiovinium, Dropshort Farm, Near Fenny Stratford, Buckinghamshire
    *Magiovinium, Dropshort Farm, near Fenny Stratford, Buckinghamshire Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol *Magiovinium was convincingly identified by Rivet (1970) with the major Roman settlement under the buildings and in the fields of Dropshort Farm (National Grid reference SP 888338), a little south-east of Fenny Stratford.1 The settlement is often stated to be in Little Brickhill parish, but in fact the partly conjectural site straddles Watling Street, which here forms the boundary with Bow Brickhill, and Dropshort Farm’s buildings are to be found on the Bow Brickhill side (Roucoux 1984: 18). Pottery from the first to the late fourth centuries, a coin manufacturing hoard (Zeepvat et al. 1994) and coins from as late as the reign of Valentinian (364-375 C. E.) have been found there, and there was a fort in use perhaps from Neronian to Flavian times (c.54-96 C. E.). Excavations in 1978-80 revealed probable fourth-century post-hole structures (Neal 1987). This place is registered three times in the Antonine Itinerary, which indicates that it was an inhabited place at least as early as the reign of Diocletian (284-305 C. E.), when the Itinerary is believed to have acquired its final form (Rivet and Smith 1979: 153), and possibly much earlier. It appears in the ablative case-form in itinera II, VI, and VIII as Magiovinto, Magiovinio, Magionvinio respectively.2 It is generally accepted, for example on the Ordnance Survey map of Roman Britain, that the second form is the correct one, and that will not be challenged since it seems to me that no plausible case can be made for either of the others.

  • Quintus in Britannia: Visiting Roman Britain with the Cambridge Latin Course
    The Journal of Classics Teaching (2020), 21, 90–96 doi:10.1017/S2058631020000094 Forum Quintus in Britannia: visiting Roman Britain with the Cambridge Latin Course James Watson Abstract This article records its author’s travels to sites in Britain that either provide settings for or are relevant to the stories of the Cambridge Latin Course. A version of this article was delivered as an oral presentation, entitled ‘In the footsteps of Quintus Caecilius: visiting Roman Britain with the Cambridge Latin Course’, at the American Classical League Centennial Institute in New York in June 2019.

  • A Bioarchaeolgical Approach to the Romano-British Female Life Course
    UNIVERSITY OF READING A WOMAN’S WORLD: A BIOARCHAEOLGICAL APPROACH TO THE ROMANO-BRITISH FEMALE LIFE COURSE Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY SCHOOL OF ARCHAEOLOGY, GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CANDACE MCGOVERN JUNE 2019 DECLARATION OF ORIGIONAL AUTHORSHIP “I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. “ Candace McGovern ABSTRACT This thesis examines Romano-British women using a life course approach and from a holistic perspective by combining archaeological, historical and biological information. Within the female life course three physical events or transitions occur which directly relate to shifts within society: puberty, childbirth and menopause. These transitions were explored using 436 females between the ages of 10.0 and 44.9 from 11 southern Romano-British urban centres. These sites are of different legal status and size, with some examples bordering between urban and rural, providing insights into the lower status and local populations as well as towns of higher legal status. All individuals are dated to the later (2nd – 5th century) Roman period. The Females between 10.0 and 24.9 years of age were included within the puberty subsample (n=136) and placed into six categories ranging from Initiation to Completion. Puberty primarily took place over 5 years with a mean age for menarche of 14.1 years. The shape and development of the pelvis also directly impacts a successful pregnancy and vaginal birth. Based on measurements of the pelvic inlet, midplane and outlet, 398 females were assigned to three categories: no contraction, at-risk and high risk.
