A youth kneeling on a roman mosaic. He's using a tiny brush to carefully sweep this immense floor while he quietly regrets his life choices.

Want to help keep our mosaics looking spick and span?

We're looking for a (very) part time mosaic cleaner.

Flexible hours and.... and we wouldn't joke about this.... YOU GET TO STAND IN THE HYPOCAUST!!! 🤩

Metal detectorists find 2,000-year-old treasure in field The find - the first of its kind in west Wales - is incredibly rare and has been described as one of 'historical significance'

Huge news for Ceredigion & west Wales.

Imperial #Roman lead mines on Cardigan Bay were under the control of Domitian by AD 87 as confirmed by the discovery of these lead pigs

Only the 5th & 6th ingots ever found in Wales 😮

Conquest and Change in the Hinterland of Roman Alchester, by Becky Haslam Becky Haslam will talk about AOC's excavations that revealed the development of the hinterland of the Roman town of Alchester

Next talk, the one that was postponed, is now tomorrow (Thu 26th Feb) evening. Tix: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/conquest-a...

Apparently it was 'unforeseen circumstances' that caused its postponement rather than any of the splendidly creative reasons you came up with. Shame but looks like a good talk

A bridge in the foreground. Stood on an old track bed. A railway tunnel appears in the background through the arch of the bridge.

Nice video. Might well explain it. When I compiled research from various other authors I ended up with a weird double route that didn't really make sense (included it anyway). The idea of a variable route does roll that in to a more sensible framework.

Old Sarum, foreground. Very green with earthworks in view. In the distance we see Salisbury Catherdral spire.

I doubt there are too many views from a Hillfort like this one. From old to New.
