Lavishly illustrated throughout, this fascinating book reveals the true story of magic in Roman Britain.
The archaeological evidence for the wide-ranging uses of magic in Roman Britain is explored here. Amulets harnessed the power of supernatural creatures; arcane words, and strange and uncanny materials to provide powerful protection to their users. Roman Britain provides evidence for amulets that protected pregnant mothers, soldiers on the frontier, sufferers of stomach ailments, and teething infants. Curses by victims of theft aimed to bring physical ruin on criminals and love charms aimed to help the unlucky in love.
