War and Diplomacy on Rome’s Northern Frontier
This is the last talk of Gartmore Heritage Society's 23/24 season so come along and join them at the Black Bull Gartmore on 20th March!
About War and Diplomacy on Rome’s Northern Frontier
The Roman army provided the muscle for the most powerful empire in the ancient world. Yet this empire met its limits. The fearsome legions tried three times to conquer Scotland, and three times they withdrew.
To understand what happened, we need to consider the archaeological evidence of forts, farms and finds. They tell a dramatic tale of war and diplomacy, of advance and retreat, of divide and rule, of pitched battles and guerrilla warfare, conflict and collaboration. From Celtic art to silver coins, from Roman armour to Pictish jewellery, the impact of the Roman world on what is now Scotland was fundamental and far-reaching.
Dr. Fraser Hunter, Principal Curator of Iron age and Roman Archaeology - National Museum of Scotland, will look across Scotland, putting finds from this area into the bigger picture.
