Verulanium Gate

Cirencester Excavations Committee excavated what became known as the Bathgate Cemetery in the 1970s. Over 400 Roman individuals were excavated and examined by Calvin Wells, giving an insight into Roman life in Corinium.

40 years later some of these remains have been re-examined, and considering other research on Roman Britain the story of the people of Roman Corinium may be set to change. The Bathgate assemblage contains a range of pathology, trauma and osteological anomalies which makes them an intriguing population, giving a new insight into the lives of Roman Corinium.
