Roman Britain is often thought of as having a definite beginning and a sudden and catastrophic end. As someone once put it, it's as if the Romans marched in in 43 and marched back out again in 410. Of course, it's not that simple. This presentation looks at the decline of Roman power and lifestyle in Britain. Not just the last few years of Roman rule though, but more or less from the beginning. It is for anyone with even a passing interest in the history of Roman Britain or British history in general. There are dates and Emperors but, don't worry, no tests and (mostly) I'll only talk about the naughty ones.

Speakernet Biography
My name is Trevor Creighton. I offer talks on a range of archaeological and historical topics. I have presented to general interest groups, local history and archaeology groups and at universities, both around the UK and internationally.
My talks are typically accompanied by PowerPoint presentations and, in addition to speaking to live audiences, I have considerable experience with on-line presentations across a number of formats. I can also offer guided walks covering a number of topics. I always strive to pitch the way I cover the material I present to cater to the interests of my audiences, rather than a 'one size fits all' approach.
I have an MA in Archaeology and Heritage and a background in education. My talks focus on British archaeology and history and, wherever possible, I try to tailor the content to include topics, history and archaeology that is local to my audience. The topics of the presentations I offer include Prehistoric Britain, the archaeology of buildings, Roman Britian, Anglo Saxon Britain and church architecture.
I have been featured in podcasts and video features on a number of archaeological channels and have appeared on Digging for Britain and Channel 4's Ancient Secrets of Althorp with Charles Spencer. My writing has been published in British Archaeology and Current Archaeology magazines, The EXARC Journal of Experimental Archaeology, the Medieval Settlements Research Journal and the newsletters of the Prehistoric Society and Later Prehistoric Finds Group.
