What was religion like in Roman Britain? What pre-Roman deities persisted? Which new gods came with Romans?
This lecture by Ronald Hutton 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.
