That <i> Roman Woman</i> recommendation was specially for you and your wife, Rich, since you two are working so hard on recreating the Roman civilian tableau. Dr. Allason-Jones spends a lot of time describing daily women's tasks and the routines of the ancient feminine life -- so I thought it might interest you particularly since's it's so credibly based on academic research. Anyway, enjoy!<br>

Coventina's Well is the modern parlance for the small shrine which was discovered at Carrawburgh, one of the forts near Hadrian's Wall. Coventina was a Celtic water nymph associated with sacred springs and healing; references to her have been found mostly in Britain but also in France and NW Spain.<br>
<br>
If you're looking for new British titles, remember there is always Oxbow Books. I believe that's where I got my copy of <i> Roman Woman</i> but I buy so many books, I really can't recall! E EM<br>

Cheers,<br>
