ABSTRACT

The first two chapters of this book have treated of Celtic and Roman religion as separate, even though related, systems. Despite the establishment of a colonia at Colchester, a city of settlers from Italy and the western provinces, and the building of the great altar and temple dedicated to the Imperial cult which incensed nationalist feeling in Britain (see Chapter 4), there was no large-scale clearance of Britons from the Province, as was to happen in Dacia (Romania) some seventy years later.
