Temple Courtyard and Minerva

The Temple courtyard was the sacred area surrounding the Temple.  On your visit you will walk through it.  This was the place where worshippers gathered to pray to the goddess Sulis Minerva and sacrifices were made at the great altar. There are many tombstones and inscriptions including the haruspex stone.
