| الوصف: | The foundation and birth of a Roman town would have been an important occasion, as well as a political event, both for the local tribal leaders and the imperial government. The processes of urban foundation and development are here explored by examining structured dedicatory deposits within Romano-British urban centres. Following the re-definition of a series of shaft deposits within the town of Dorchester (Durnovaria) as ritual, such repetitive deposits are considered within the context of the symbolism of Roman urban planning, and the dedication rites of the ancient world. |
