Roman Villas and Peasant Farms
Peter Liddle MBE
Saturday 8 June 10am-11.30am
The study of the Roman countryside has concentrated on villas but they are not the typical rural settlement. They are greatly outnumbered by much simpler farms, typically built of timber or cob, and recent excavation of a sample of these has led us to a much better understanding of life in the Roman countryside.
Archaelogy talks take a break over the summer and will resume again in the Autumn.
