EXPERTS will be gathering in Grassington to present the latest research on life in the North under Roman rule.
The one-day conference, organised by the Yorkshire Dales Landscape Research Trust and the Yorkshire Archaeological and Historical Society, will be held at the Devonshire Institute from 9.15am on Saturday, October 29.
Archaeologists, researchers and academics from England and Scotland will consider the impact of the Roman conquest on farming communities on both sides of Hadian's Wall.
The conference "Romans and Natives in Central Britain" will cover a variety of topics including Roman roads and the military occupation, investigations into objects from the period and radical changes to the environment.
"The Brigantes - the largest tribe in the North - may have seen their territory sliced in two by the frontier that became Hadrian’s Wall," said Roger Martlew, a conference organiser.
A keynote paper will be presented by Dr Fraser Hunter, co-organiser of the highly successful exhibition on the Celts at the British Museum and the National Museum of Scotland.
Attendance costs £15 which includes refreshments and a booking form is available at https://www.yas.org.uk/content/news/Roman2016.pdf, or email Dr Roger Martlew on info@ydlrt.co.uk.
