Discover places, objects and surviving evidence through Ron’s own visits to Roman sites and museum collections.
A continuing interest
Learning from the places where history happened
Roman history is not confined to books. Forts, towns, inscriptions, sculpture and everyday objects all provide evidence about the people who lived in Roman Britain.
Over many years, Ron has visited archaeological sites and museums, attended specialist lectures and taken part in Roman Army School field trips. These illustrated features bring together some of his photographs and observations.
Each feature asks what the surviving evidence can tell us. The aim is to encourage teachers and pupils to look closely, ask questions and recognise that our understanding of the past is built from evidence.
