Early Roman Occupation at Cirencester

This first volume deals with the military remains in Cirencester. This division has the advantage of being not only thematic but also chronological, for, like the majority of cities and other large settlements in Roman Britain, Cirencester owed its origin and choice of site to the 1st-century Roman army. The 19th-century discovery of two military tombstones had previously suggested that there had once been a garrison at Cirencester. The excavations reported here have helped place these early discoveries in context.
