My Roman Britain
Abstract: My Roman Britain
'Roman Britain has an enduring hold on the modern imagination. It conjures visions of soldiers and roads, of villas and baths, of togas and towns. But there is a lot more to Roman Britain than that. Weaving together several strands of archaeology, including objects, epigraphy and landscapes, this presentation will present evidence for the real people of Roman Britain, and their personalities. It will emphasise the practical realities of life in the Romano-British countryside and town. This is a fresh vision of Roman Britain, told through the prism of its people, and it's a journey that may surprise you'
