It has created an open access database of archaeological records that provides basic information so that the sites can be better understood and preserved in the future. The threats to sites in the Middle East and North Africa are increasing and creating a record of previously unrecorded sites using this methodology may be our last chance before they are destroyed.

Just as the curve of a wingtip or snarl of a Merlin can still quicken the pulse of any modern Briton, the sight of legionaries clad in their distinctive body armour seems to have proclaimed one thing to the Romans for three centuries: military virtue.
Official metropolitan monuments in the Eternal City were covered with depictions of this sophisticated form of articulated plate armour. Everywhere a Roman looked they saw (what we now call) lorica segmentata.
Now, archaeological finds from all over the Roman Empire are telling us about the manufacture, use and evolution of the ultimate cutting-edge-technology defence. Where did it come from, how was it made, and to which troops was it issued?
Find out what Miss Shilling's Orifice and Roman girth hoops share in common, the importance of cut’n’shut and Heraclitus, and why names matter so much. Never in the field of human conflict has so much scrap metal proved so useful to so many.
