Discover clues to the pastLearn about the techniques that archaeologists use to dig up clues to the the past. The North West of England lay on the very edge of the vast Roman Empire. The great legionary fortress at Chester is one of the best-known Roman sites in the region and many more forts and towns survive in the area.

The exhibition contained Romano-British marvels including tiles, pottery, coins, broaches and ornaments from National Museums Liverpool archaeological excavations.  In this section |
