In Christians and Pagans in Roman Britain, first published in 1991, Professor Dorothy Watts sets out to distinguish possible Pagan features in Romano-British Christianity in the period leading up to and immediately following the withdrawal of Roman forces in AD 410. Watts argues that British Christianity at the time contained many Pagan influences, suggesting that the former, although it had been present in the British Isles for some two centuries, was not nearly as firmly established as in other parts of the Empire. Building on recent developments in the archaeology of Roman Britain, and utilising a nuanced method for deciphering the significance of objects with ambiguous religious identities, Christians and Pagans in Roman Britain will be of interest to classicists, students of the history of the British Isles, Church historians, and also to those generally interested in the place of Christianity during the twilight of the Western Roman Empire.

Apart from Christianity and the Oriental Cults, religion in Roman Britain is often discussed as though it remained basically Celtic in belief and practice, under a thin veneer of Roman influence. Using a wide range of archaeological evidence, Dr Henig shows that the Roman element in religion was of much greater significance and that the natural Roman veneration for the gods found meaningful expression even in the formal rituals practised in the public temples of Britain.

R. W. Morgan proposes that St. Paul introduced Christianity to Celtic Britain, and that the Christian church and the first ancestors of the modern royal family were established several centuries prior to what is conventionally thought. Although the ideas and theories of R. W. Morgan are discredited and unpopular in the modern day, his investigations into the early church history of Britain are interesting and thought-provoking. Following on from his research of ancient sources, Morgan proposes the concept of the apostolic church - a Christianity developed independent of the later, Roman church - was more compatible with the existing Druidic order of Britain and appealing to the native population. With this line of reasoning, the idea Paul founded Christianity in Britain is considered plausible. The idea that St. Paul and his retinue of early Christians journeyed across the Roman Empire to Great Britain was not new. The possibility was raised by scholar Edward Cardwell, who dismissed the event as unsubstantiated speculation. There is no evidence that Christianity spread to the British Isles so soon after the life of Christ - St. Paul died in the 60s AD. Morgan also introduces the idea that England's monarchs are related to the early Christians, asserting that Boudica and Caratacus converted to Christendom.

This volume deals with the religions of the Roman soldiers in Britain and the religious interactions of soldiers and civilians. Drawing on epigraphic and archaeological evidence, the discussion shows the complexities of Roman, Eastern, and Celtic rites, how each system influenced the ritual and liturgy of the others, and how each system was altered over time. The first part presents discursive chapters on topics such as the cult of the emperor, Mithraism in Britain, the cults of Celtic warriors and healers, the Romanization of Civilian religions, and Christianity; the second part consists of an annotated catalogue of the epigraphical sources. Of significance is the broad range of materials synthesized to show the extent to which native religions influenced and were influenced by imported Roman and Eastern cults.

Religion in Late Roman Britain explores the changes in religion over the fourth century; the historical background for these changes and the forces which contributed to them. Dorothy Watts examines the reasons for the decline of Christianity and the continuation of the pagan, Celtic cults in Britain. The author establishes a chronology for the rise and decline of Christianity, based on the available archaeological evidence, and she charts the fate of the pagan cults and temples in the fourth century. The author discusses the nature of Romano-British pagan religion and she analyses the controversial rite of decapitated burial in the light of some startling new archaeological evidence.
