Abstract

This article argues that there is no strong evidence for the continuity of the cult of St Alban at Verulamium from the fifth to the eighth century. The written evidence suggests rather that the martyr narrative and cult of Alban was created in Gaul and reimported to Britain through texts. The activity at late and post-Roman Verulamium is contextualized by comparing it with archaeological evidence from contemporary British sites. The article explores how the contrasts and connections between Britain and the Continent determined the survival of devotion to Alban.

圣奥尔本，欧塞尔的日耳曼，以及维鲁拉米的一个邪教

这篇文章认为，没有强有力的证据表明圣阿尔班的崇拜在维鲁拉米姆从五世纪到八世纪的连续性。书面证据表明，奥尔本的殉道者叙述和崇拜是在高卢创造的，并通过文本重新传入英国。通过与当代英国遗址的考古证据进行比较，将罗马晚期和后罗马时期Verulamium的活动背景化。本文探讨了英国与欧洲大陆之间的对比和联系如何决定了对奥尔本的热爱。

期刊介绍： Early Medieval Europe provides an indispensable source of information and debate on the history of Europe from the later Roman Empire to the eleventh century. The journal is a thoroughly interdisciplinary forum, encouraging the discussion of archaeology, numismatics, palaeography, diplomatic, literature, onomastics, art history, linguistics and epigraphy, as well as more traditional historical approaches. It covers Europe in its entirety, including material on Iceland, Ireland, the British Isles, Scandinavia and Continental Europe (both west and east).
