Camulodunum: What is it, Where is it, and How Do We Know?

Begin your journey in the Late Iron Age with a deep dive into Camulodunum, the tribal capital of the Trinovantes and one of the earliest Roman settlements in Britain.

Drawing on decades of excavation, this talk explores how we define the ancient oppidum, what we know about its layout and life, and why it remains central to understanding Roman Colchester.

Speaker: Howard Brooks

Please note : This series of talks describe and discuss ancient 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 past as accurately as possible, both for its good elements and bad.
