	Silchester Roman Town - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Silchester Roman Town, or Calleva Atrebatum, was an Iron Age and subsequently Roman town and capital of the Celtic tribe named the Atrebates, located near the modern village of Silchester on what is today the border between the English counties of Berkshire and Hampshire.
		Silchester is unusual in that, for reasons unknown, it was abandoned shortly after the end of the Roman era and, with the establishment of Reading Abbey, local political and commercial activity moved to nearby Reading.
		Silchester was completely excavated by the Society of Antiquaries of London between the years 1890 and 1909, and this excavation provided valuable information about civic life and daily life in the first centuries of the Common Era, as well as a map of the Romano-British town.

	ASPROM: The Seasons Mosaic from Silchester and its architectural context, by Stephen R. Cosh
		In 1901, during the excavations of House 1 Insula XXVII at Silchester, the fragmentary corner of a mosaic panel, including a bust, was found in Room 16.[1] Very little survived, principally because of the robbing in antiquity of the tiles from the underlying hypocaust.
		Two more examples from Silchester are suspected (fig 4, e–g),[14] but it is uncertain whether they were single rooms since wall divisions are shown which may be relics of an earlier phase as at Whatley, Somerset (fig.
		The wide borders in the Silchester apse could easily accommodate such furniture and the wide borders around three sides of the Seasons Mosaic can be interpreted as positions for three couches before the addition of the apse although the position of the door may preclude this.

	CALLEVA ATREBATVM
		Silchester is the end terminus of Iter XIII "The Route from Isca [Silurum] to Calleva", and Iter XIV "An Alternative Route from Isca [Silurum] to Calleva", both of which start off from the fortress of the Second Augustan Legion at Caerleon in the county of Gwent in South Wales.

		It was particularly encouraging to see so many youngsters involved in both the music and the comedy, and Silchester clearly has a number of young stars in the making.

		Silchester Players are lucky to have a wealth of comic character actors, and John Coffin's Arthur contrasted excellently with Keith Graham's dame queen, dominating the stage throughout.
		While some of the solo singing was a little quiet, Silchester Players put 100 per cent into their chorus numbers: there were plenty of smiles, a tuneful accompaniment by Stephen Oliver, and firm simple choreography from Trevor Dobson and Sarah Oliver.

	The 3rd Silchester Saunter
		Now here we are gathering in a pub car park, just down the road from the Roman remains of Silchester and watching as trailers and racks loaded with cyclemotors and autocycles make their way to the New Inn, Stratfield Saye to take part in the Thames Valley Group's 3rd Silchester Saunter.
		As usual the Fabulous Thames Valley Catering Outlet was in action, set up on a grassy knoll half way around the route where Barbara Pallett and Lorraine distributed hot drinks and home made cakes to by now slightly moist riders as a light drizzle had started to fall.
		If last year's Saunter has been referred to as the Silchester Regatta this one may well go down as the Silchester Squelch, so thanks to everyone for making such awful weather enjoyable, you're a good bunch.
