Dominic Perring

Dominic Perring, Emeritus Professor from University College London and an expert on Roman London, delves into the intriguing transformation of this once-thriving city into a ghost town by the fifth century. He discusses archaeological findings that unveil the city's decline, including the impact of political figures like Magnus Maximus and the shifts in trade and fortifications. Perring also sheds light on the rise of Christianity, evolving burial customs, and how these changes reflect the broader socio-economic picture of Roman London's tumultuous last chapters.
