Whereas Oxford and INRA arranged the first talk and dinner with Professor Bowman speaking on the Vindolanda tablets, this event was arranged by Cambridge and INRA. We had a great talk by Professor Martin Millett: FBA, MAE\u2002Emeritus Laurence Professor of Classical Archaeology as we sat in the warm summer&#8217;s evening at the amazingly preserved Gallo-Roman Theatre in Dalheim. While the evening took onset in Dalheim we were soon engrossed in various archeological sites in Britain which Professor Millett, his team and colleagues had mapped, with magnetometers without any digging whatsoever! We heard about the exchange between Roman and English culture and left with a far more nuanced picture of the Roman invasion.  Many of the seats of amphitheatre were filled and there was a lively Q &amp; A after the talk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards a good group of light and dark blues and archeologists had an excellent meal at &#8216;A Schmatten&#8217;. We are grateful to Cambridge for this lovely event which ended our Oxbridge miniseries on Roman Britain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
