  • Healthcare in Roman Colchester

    Open AccessNina Crummy, Glynn Davis et al.ARTICLEBritannia2026

    Colchester Museums has collected Roman-period medical instruments from the town since the late nineteenth century. Brought together here, along with items from the town housed in other institutions, their typological links or differences are explored, along with their wide range of uses.

  • Sulis

    Open AccessR S O TomlinCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2012

    Romano‐British goddess of the hot springs at Bath ( Aquae Sulis , “the waters of Sulis”), which the Romans turned into the hot‐water spa still unique in Britain by trapping the principal spring ( fons Sulis ) in a massive reservoir now under the King's Bath.

  • Ostorius Scapula, Publius

    Open AccessR S O TomlinCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2012

    As Publius Ostorius Scapula (date of birth unknown, but he died in 52 CE , probably aged about fifty) was presumably the son of the like‐named Perfect of Egypt, he must have enjoyed high favor in pursuing a senatorial career, which would have included the command of a legion, but only his last post is known, as the second governor of Roman Britain (47–52).

  • Brigantia

    Open AccessR S O TomlinCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2012

    Romano‐British goddess who personified the Brigantes, the largest tribe in Roman Britain, which, according to Ptolemy, extended ”from sea to sea” (Geog . 2.3.10) – across the Pennines and most of northern England. Appropriately the name derives from Celtic *frng‐(”high”), like that of the Irish saint Brigit, who may have once been a cognate deity. The only representation is the stone figure from Birrens (Dumfriesshire) (CSIR I.4, No. 12= RIB 2091…

  • De rebus bellicis

  • Nodens

    Open AccessR S O TomlinCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2012

    Romano‐British god identified with Mars, worshipped at a shrine in Lydney Park (Gloucestershire) that flourished from the mid‐third to the mid‐fourth century CE , followed by decline; two statuettes found near Lancaster are the only evidence of wider cult.

  • Emptio Bovis Frisica: The ‘Frisian Ox Sale’ Reconsidered

    Open AccessAlan K Bowman, R S O Tomlin et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Roman Studies2009Cited by: 1

    The article offers a re-edition of a Latin stilus tablet found in 1917 at Tolsum in the Netherlands, the region inhabited in Roman times by the tribe of the Frisii, and first published as a contract of sale for an ox. The re-edition, with readings based on new techniques of digital image capture, establishes the date of the text (A.D. 29) and shows that it does not concern the sale of an ox, but is more probably the second half of a loan-note for…
