What's New in Roman Scotland (copy 1)

Glasgow Archaeological Society & the Roman Society

Date: 23 October 2010

Venue: St Mungo’s Museum of Religious Life & Art

2010 is the 1600^th anniversary of AD 410, often seen as the “end” of Roman Britain. It is also the 1800^th anniversary of the last major Roman invasion of Scotland led by the emperor Septimius Severus. To mark these anniversaries, the Glasgow Archaeological Society, in association with the Roman Society, is holding a day seminar on 23 October in St Mungo’s Museum of Religious Life & Art in Glasgow.

This event is intended for a general audience, and aims to convey something of the excitement of recent and current finds, perspectives and debates in Roman Scotland. Click here for the conference programme and booking form.
