Excavations at Chester. The Elliptical Building. Excavations in 1939 & 1963-69
VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Excavations at Chester. The Elliptical Building. Excavations in 1939 and 1963 to 69 by David J. P. Mason Summary: David J. P. Mason’s report brings together the results of excavations carried out in 1939 and 1963–69 on a highly unusual Roman structure located near the centre of the legionary fortress at Chester (Deva Victrix). The work aimed to understand its architecture, date, and function. Mason’s work demonstrates that the Elliptical Building was a complex, high-status, and architecturally unique structure, built and rebuilt over several centuries. Despite extensive excavation, its exact purpose remains unresolved, making it a key topic in the study of Roman Britain. Author: David J. P.
