Dr Tess Machling Duncan Mackay St Albans Museums It was a powerful journey last night. Duncan had us standing shoulder to shoulder with Boudica and among the Roman legions. We moved through time and landscapes effortlessly and we were enthralled. The magic of archaeology really came through.
It's out! Ep 2 of our HHTV series on the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest!
Featuring Dr Jo Ball, Prof Matthew Nicholls, the team at Kalkriese and more! Huge thanks to History Hit💥 and the team for making this series a reality. Check it out!

Not often you get to use a Roman pilum as a slide pointer or XIV Legion shield as a lectern - I recommend both! Many thanks to St Albans Museums for hosting my Boudica talk last night, Lexi Diggins #Dig4Arch for the invite, Dr Tess Machling for pre/post talk support, & the lovely audience!
Very enjoyable lecture this evening St Albans Museums from Duncan Mackay on Boudicca. Could her last battle have been just a stone's throw from our home?!
Went to a talk at St Albans Museums in which Duncan Mackay tried to convince me that Boudicca's last stand was outside my front door. May spend the weekend digging up my garden (though it's more likely that I'll just buy his book, Echolands hachette.co.uk/titles/duncan-…).
Some of my school friends wanted to be astronauts or to play for Brighton and Hove Albion
I however had a very different dream 😆
Fishbourne Roman Palace
Finally got my mitts on these beauties, Dr Jo Ball & Dr Andrew Tibbs. I now have the most stunning archaeological TBR pile standing as high as my waist; all I need is an undisturbed year somewhere very quiet to read them all.
James Canton Red Lion Books Colchester Museums Essex Book Festival Oh wonderful, James Canton, I do so hope you enjoy it, and snap! I’ve just bought Grounded! So looking forward to reading it!
Bought Red Lion Books in the heart of Colchester with the Boudican Destruction Horizon just a few feet beneath me.
