Paganism in Roman Britain
Check out Ronald Hutton discussing this lecture and your unanswered questions on our brand new podcast "Any Further Questions?' available on Apple and Spotify
******
What was religion like in Roman Britain? What pre-Roman deities persisted? Which new gods came with Romans?
This lecture looks at the evidence: inscriptions, statues and figurines, carvings and all the impediments of ritual, as well as the testimony of hundreds of burials. It shows how the Romans developed the cults of native deities such as Sulis and Belatucadros, and imported their own official divinities such as Jupiter and Mercury and mystery religions such as that of Mithras.
