The discovery of a rich aristocratic burial at Folly Lane, St. Albans, has thrown new light on the early history of the Roman town. The evidence recovered for the elaborate rituals surrounding the burial, and the sacred area in which it was located, has also given an insight into Verulamium as a cult centre, the precursor of the later city of St. Albans.
