“In the Land of Samnites and Snake-Charmers: Roman Colonisation in Central
Italy”
This paper explores the experiences of Roman colonists in one region, the
central Apennines, a mountainous area inhabited by tribes traditionally
hostile to the Romans, such as the Samnites. An examination of the
archaeology and history of these colonies sheds light on how colonists
changed this landscape and interacted with their new neighbors in ways
which fundamentally shaped the development of the region and growth of
Rome's power in central Italy.

“How coin finds are changing the face of Roman Britain: the contribution of
the Portable Antiquities Scheme”
After surveying the study of Roman coin finds in Britain from the sixteenth
century to the present day, I will show how our understanding of these
finds has been transformed in the last 40 years by the explosion in new
finds brought to light through metal detecting. I will discuss how the 1996
Treasure Act and the Portable Antiquities Scheme have enabled us to record
these finds and will finish by presenting some of the results of a research
project to study hoards of Iron Age and Roman coins from Britain.
