Erected in c. 270 AD, the masonry walls of the Roman town of Silchester (Calleva Atrebatum; Hampshire, S. England) are part of the third system in a series of defensive works. They stand today to a height of almost 5m and are composed of up to seven lifts or stages, each consisting of a flint core and facing (now almost completely robbed away), capped by a string-course of large blocks and slabs that stretches across the full width (c. 3m) of the walls, formed of a wide variety of rock-types foreign to the district.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46861696696471,"sku":"9781407311104","price":2525.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781407311104.webp?v=1769963132","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-masonry-defences-of-roman-silchester-calleva-atrebatum-north-hampshire-building-materials-building-styles-and-the-building-programme-9781407311104","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
