Here you will find videos by one (or even both) of us on the subject of Roman military equipment. You have been warned, but if you would like either of us to talk to your group on the subject, contact mcbishop@pobox.com.

The Trimontium Trust

The Trimontium Trust have an annual programme of lectures where various specialists talk about subjects connected to the Roman fort at Newstead and James Curle’s excavations there. Occasionally – rashly – they allow MCB within their portals to talk about something or other.
