Exploring the archaeology of the Roman fort at Binchester (County Durham), where recent research has revealed some of the best preserved Roman remains in Britain
The Roman fort at Binchester was a major military site on the road between York and Hadrian’s Wall. In recent years a major campaign of archaeological excavation has uncovered the remains of an impressively preserved Roman bath-house, as well as parts of barracks, shops and latrines.
This talk by Dr David Petts (Durham University), leader of the team of archaeological research team, explores what these remains can tell us about day to day life for soldiers and civilians on the Roman frontier, and looks at plans for more work on the site.
Tickets are available from Visit York and there are a maximum of 60 tickets.

Come discover Eboracum as never before with archaeologist Patrick Ottaway as he introduces the citizens of today to life in Roman York.
York (Roman Eboracum) was unique in Roman Britain in being both a military base and important urban centre for more than 350 years. Its remains are largely buried below the modern city, but archaeological investigations have revealed many of its secrets, including buildings and streets and details of the daily lives of its people.
This lecture will present an outline of the history and layout of Roman York using literary sources, inscriptions and archaeology. Some of the more significant excavations will be discussed.
York Explore Library : Sat 4 Jun : 3.00pm – 4.00pm £6.00 (£5.00 with a YorkCard)
Ruth Downie is the author of the New York Times bestselling MEDICUS series featuring Roman Legionary medic Ruso and his British partner Tilla. Her fifth book, Semper Fidelis, is set in Eboracum. “Downie has a rare talent for combining great writing, razor wit and detailed historical research” (Lynne Patrick, Hey there’s a dead guy in the living room)
Come and discover bizarre Roman medical cures, find out why archaeology is like criminal investigation and why nobody can tell you a good Ancient British joke.
Ruth Downie left university with an English degree, a head full of Jane Austen and a plan to get married and live happily ever after. As a backup she learned typing and shorthand, in the mistaken belief that people would always need secretaries and that she might be quite good at it.
