For thousands of years, the landscape of Wiltshire has played host to carefully concealed hoards of material wealth, from tools to weapons, jewellery to money.

Over the last two hundred years, the discoveries of these previously hidden treasures have led to the rewriting of our understanding of this country and the people who lived in it.

This talk will explore some of the late Roman hoards that have been discovered and the stories that they can tell us, including the Wilcot hoard generously donated to Wiltshire Museum and recently conserved through support from members and supporters.  It will shortly be going on display.

Richard Henry is a finds specialist who has worked for the Portable Antiquities Scheme as the Finds Liaison Officer for Wiltshire,  for Historic England and as a curator for Southampton County Council.  He is a Doctoral research student at the University of Reading and a Visiting Fellow at Bournemouth University.  He has published books and articles on Roman archaeology, material culture, coinage and hoards. His most recent publication was 'Roman Buckles & Brooches' looking at the end of Roman Britain and material culture.
