A Roman Palace and its Garden

Description

Fishbourne: A Roman Palace and its Garden tells the story of the discovery, during the early 1960s, of the site of a Roman Palace and its garden at Fishbourne, near Chichester. Professor Cunliffe describes the whole story of the historic excavation, unfolding the history of the site from the early military beginnings down to the final destruction of the palace by fire. Since his original excavation, Barry Cunliffe has kept in close contact with work on the site and more is now known about the building itself and about its place in the development of Roman Britain. No comparable Roman garden has been discovered west of Italy.
