Roman Yorkshire

The joint British Museum and University of Leicester AHRC-funded research project 'Hoarding in Iron Age and Roman Britain' is examining the ever-growing corpus of Romano-British hoards, and the factors behind their burial.

Coin hoards have traditionally been studied from the point of view of their contents rather than their find spots.

A reappraisal of the evidence gives due consideration to the contexts in which hoards were buried, alongside their contents and associated objects.

Kindly sponsored by the Society of the Promotion of Roman Studies.

Speaker: Dr Adrian Chadwick, University of Leicester.
