Richborough Roman Fort and Amphitheatre
SUITABLE FORAdults
In AD 43, a Roman army landed at Richborough to begin a war of conquest. A hundred years ago, archaeologists discovered the remains of their beachhead defences, including a fortified gateway.
in 2023 English Heritage unveiled a reconstruction of that gateway, on the site of the original. Join Dr Andrew Roberts (Properties Historian) and Matt Town (Craftsman Carpenter) to hear the story behind it, and how history, archaeology, theory and practice came together in construction.
