Title: Silchester [Go to resource]
Description: This is perhaps the most famous of all the discoveries found in the Roman city at Silchester. The foundations, in Insula IV, were first unearthed in May 1892 and excavated that year. It was identified as a Romano-British Christian church by W H St John Hope, an identification later confirmed by modern work. The Roman city of Calleva Atrebatum was excavated over a period of nineteen seasons, between 1890 and 1909. The Silchester Excavation Fund was supported by public subscription and the Society of Antiquaries, with the assistance of the Duke of Wellington who offered a contribution and a site for a museum. The excavations were under the direction of George E Fox and W H St John Hope. The results were published annually in the journal Archaeologia.
