Event details

The process of ‘romanisation’ within a province or region is an established debate within Roman Studies, whilst Archaeological research is increasingly concerned with the concepts of identity and regionality.

Within the framework of current debate, we will examine the spread of coinage and coin use in the North, the nature and persistence of Iron age tribal exchange systems, and the presence and role of the army, to consider the prospect of a North-South divide within Roman Britain.
