Extractions: HOME Archaeology and History Archery Arthur ... What's On PART of your GUIDED TOUR OF COLCHESTER We continue our virtual tour having just seen the imposing Town Hall in our High Street, which is known to follow the original Roman street that would have joined Balkerne Gate to the west and East Gate to the east. Before we set off (and to give the pictures time to load), perhaps I ought to say a little bit about our history, so that you can fit in the places and buildings that we'll see with the events that produced them. The Romans came to Colchester in the year 43 AD and here they were to stay until around the year 411 AD, when the Roman Empire was in decline and their forces were required on other fronts. The east of Britain was being threatened by Saxon and Danish invaders, Vikings to the north and, after the Romans left, law and order, stability and trade took a nose dive. This is the period of King Arthur, when Colchester would have been his beloved Camelot, a walled and easily defended city. We then entered the Dark Ages, when very little evidence exists of there having been any inhabitation within the town's walls. The Roman buildings eventually decayed and collapsed, the Norman conquerors arriving some six centuries later to a place that must have seemed as if it had been built and populated by giants. THE GEORGE HOTEL Along the High Street to the east, we have the George Hotel, the last of our coaching inns, certainly dating to the 16th century and perhaps earlier. It was given a Georgian front but inside its timber framed construction has been very well restored. If you can call it a pub, it is perhaps our most sumptuous. Call in there for a drink (virtual of course!) and see what I mean!

Extractions: WROXETER ROMANO-BRITISH CITY (VIRICONIUM) near Shrewsbury, Shropshire Owned by UNDER RECONSTRUCTION Completion date: Summer 2005 O ne of the lesser known, yet fourth largest, Romano-British cities, Wroxeter has an incredible history. Having began its 'life' as a city in 96 AD it went on to outlive many of its 'siblings', not being finally abandoned until the beginning of the 7th. Century - 200 years after the Romans had left these isles. Viriconium was a civitas one of the tribal administrative centres. In this case for the Cornovii tribe whose territory covered what is now Shropshire, Cheshire, part of Staffordshire, part of Herefordshire, part of Merseyside, Wrexham, Flintshire and part of Powys . This marvellous city may have been built with the blessing and help of their Roman masters but it was lived in, paid for and ran by the Britons of the region. (The Romans knew how to subdue their subjects: give them all the trappings of the 'civilised ' world and they'll leave you in peace... or so they thought). W e will be visiting the city's Public Bath Complex on the day it was opened in 160 AD (the actual date is not known).

On the Piazza Bellini, the tour steps inside the Martorana Church; a 12th century building that is a jewel of Arab-Norman architecture, and its interior encrusted with byzantine mosaics. And no tour to Sicily would be complete without a stop at Monreale, the Royal Mountain. It was here, at the end of the 12th century, that the Norman king, William II had a great cathedral built to reflect the sophistication and wealth of his kingdom. Byzantine and Greek artisans were employed to cover almost every surface of its interior with costly golden mosaics depicting Christ the Pantocrator, the apostles, and cycles form the Old and New Testaments. Next door, we tour through the cloister of the Benedictine abbey. Here, no two of the exquisite capitals on over 200 twin column are the same. En route to Erice the group stops to tour Segesta to see the picturesque doric temple. Sicily was part of ancient Magna Graecia. In the 8th century BC, with population rising dramatically in mainland Greece, land became expensive and resources scarce. This led to an exodus of Greeks in search of new lands. Sicily and southern Italy were to Ancient Greece what the Americas were to 16th century European explorers: the great unknown; a land of possibilities, riches and great dangers. Segesta was a successful colony, which fought with its rival Selinunte, to the south.
