Blog postPreparing to march on York!
Hooray! Last weekend, after all the doubts about it happening, the festival celebrating Roman York was back. Romans everywhere, including a march through the city, kids staring goggle-eyed, adults fascinated by weapons, surveying, dyeing, medical practice, letter writing, cooking – all in the Roman way. And the sun shone on us.
Two days of fun, and two days of remembering the enormous impact of Roman life in Britannia. And two days of getting a hint -
Blog postI’ve been in York this weekend for the Eboracum Roman Festival. I’ll be blogging about that next but on the Friday before I indulged in some historical tourism and visited the Yorkshire Museum.
Eboracum was a fort in the Roman province of Britannia and, at its height, the largest town in northern Britain. The site was still occupied after the decline of the Western Roman Empire and ultimately developed into the present-day city York.

Blog postThe heroine – Julia Bacausa
Oh, the joy and the relief of finishing the first draft of a new book!
Along with a sense of achievement comes a feeling of numbness. You’ve completed the story. No more sitting at the keyboard ready to plunge into the book world and typing to find out what happens next. No more writing (hopefully sparky) dialogue for your characters, but no more looking up Roman roads, dalmaticae, wayside inns or political and religious issues of the late fourth ce -
Blog post‘Destruction’ by Thomas Cole, painted 1833–1836, part of a series ‘The Course of Empire’
Discussion of the the reasons for the ‘fall’ of the Western Roman Empire will go on forever and everybody will have their pet one. The classic book is The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, a six-volume work by the English historian Edward Gibbon.
Rome didn’t ‘fall’ it one cataclysmic day, week, month or year, nor was it all gone in one puff of smoke and was suddenly -
