The Legacy of Rome: Wales
AD 300–700
Etifeddiaeth Rhufain: Cymru
AD 300–700
Aberystwyth, 13th November 2010
Many distinguishing characteristics of Wales can be traced back to Roman rule’s final stages and immediate aftermath. The questions remain largely open as to how Romanized this part of the Empire had been and to what extent the Roman contribution determined the make up of the cultural entity that was to emerge to the west of Anglo-Saxon England. A resifting of recent research (sites, artefacts, inscriptions) and analysis promises to be a worthwhile undertaking in this milestone year. 2010 is the centenary year of the Roman Society as well as marking the sixteen-hundredth anniversary of the date which has traditionally marked the end of Roman Britain. Commemorating these events the Society together with the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies will sponsor the Legacy of Rome day conference on this pivotal period in the transition from western Roman Britain to early medieval Wales.
