50 Roman Finds From the Portable Antiquities Scheme highlights some of the most important and interesting Roman objects recorded by the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) or reported as Treasure. It features a wide variety of objects, allowing for a balanced presentation of both well-preserved everyday objects and some of the most spectacular finds to have been recorded by the PAS. Iconic objects featured here include the Crosby Garrett helmet and the Ilam pan.
Collectively, the fifty examples featured here exemplify the cosmopolitan culture of the Roman world and help shed further light on a fascinating period of British history.
John Pearce’s interest in Roman archaeology developed from participation in archaeological fieldwork in Britain, France, Germany and Italy. Collaborating with the Portable Antiquities Scheme for more than a decade, he has published widely on Roman artefacts, the images they carry and the insights they offer into Roman society. His research also studies Roman cemeteries, the remains of the dead and the rituals by which they were buried. Having worked on the Vindolanda writing tablets project (1999 to 2003), he continues to investigate the inscriptions which reveal the lives of the peoples of the Roman empire. Sally Worrell’s interest in Roman archaeology emerged when objects were discovered on a Roman roadside settlement that her father farmed in Lincolnshire. This interest developed further with her BA and MA degrees at Durham University, and was followed by her work on the Romano-British Glass Project at Durham. Working on the Portable Antiquities Scheme, Worrell was the Hampshire Finds Liaison Officer 1998-2002, and her current role as National Finds Adviser- Prehistoric, Iron Age and Roman Artefacts 2002 onwards.
