The basis of this book are excavations undertaken by Ernest Greenfield at the site of a Roman villa at Great Witcombe. The excavations and the finds are presented in detail. It is suggested that the villa belonged to the descendants of a veteran, settled on an estate established here at the foundation of the colonia at Gloucester. This book is published in association with English Heritage. With contributions by J. Bayley, L. Bevan, S. Butcher, S. Cottam, J. Davies, B. Dickinson, J. G. Evans, T. Finney, J. Henderson, M.
