Conference Information

The 2026 Roman Army School will be held from Friday 27 to Monday 30 March at Collingwood College, Durham, UK. This year the theme is:

The activities of the Emperor Septimius Severus in Britain and beyond

The initiative for this subject is the excavation of the palatial building at Carlisle dating to about 210, that is within the reign of Severus, by Frank Giecco, who will be one of the speakers. He will be joined by Professor David Breeze, Mark Corby, Dr Nick Hodgson, Professor Rebecca Jones and Martina Meyr. Severus expanded the Roman Empire on three continents and his policies and actions from Scotland to Iraq will be investigated. There will be a visit to the Roman fort at High Rochester on Dere Street, the route of Severus's army into Caledonia.
