Colchester Archaeology Talks: Hadrian in Britain AD 122

Colchester Archaeological Trust

This emperor didn't just build walls!  An entertaining online discourse by Romanist, Richard Bale.

<h2>Hadrian in Britain AD 122</h2><p>The emperor Hadrian spent three months visiting Britain in AD 122. He “<em>settled many problems</em>” and either initiated or completed major infrastructure projects – not just his famous Wall. This talk follows a likely itinerary for his visit, reveals the court scandal which involved his wife, and considers Hadrian’s legacy across the whole of Britannia.</p><h3>Colchester Archaeology Talks</h3><p>Raising funds to support the Roman Circus Visitor Centre, Richard Bale explores different Roman topics using archaeological and historical evidence. Each talk seeks to reveal the hows and whys of a subject so that we can understand the lives and times of famous (and often infamous) Roman characters, and also explore the similarities and differences of modern life with our Roman ancestors. </p>

<p><strong>Please note :</strong> This series of talks describe and discuss Roman Life from an archaeological and historical perspective. Due to the nature of the period some aspects of this topic may cause offence to a modern audience. The intention of the presenter is to be informative and to represent the Roman period as accurately as possible, both for its good elements and bad. <em>Richard Bale, Romanist.</em></p>
