The fort of Binchester, County Durham, was a major military site on the road between York and Hadrian’s Wall. In recent years a major campaign of archaeological excavation has uncovered some of the best-preserved Roman remains in Britain, including a bath-house, barracks, shops and latrines! Dr Petts explores what the remains can tell us about the day to day lives of soldiers and civilians in the Roman frontier zone, and looks at plans for more work on the site. With Dr David Petts (Project Leader, University of Durham).

This event is part of the Eboracum Roman Festival.

The talk will take place in the Marriot Room at the York Explore Library and Archive.
