Historical Association: The Changing Lives and Townscapes of Iron Age and Roman Silchester

Professor Mike Fulford gives a lecture on the archaeology and history of Silchester, Hampshire, focusing on the Iron Age and Roman town and how decades of excavation and research have transformed what we know about its development and decline. Drawing on both fieldwork and laboratory analysis, the talk explores the town from its Late Iron Age origins through to its demise in the 5th to 7th century AD.

The event is organised by the Historical Association as a branch lecture and is led by a specialist academic from the University of Reading. It will be of interest to anyone keen on Roman Britain, archaeology, and the changing landscapes of ancient settlements, as well as students and history enthusiasts looking for an accessible scholarly talk.
