different tasks: 1) historical research on an aspect of Roman history, 
including life in a Roman town, the history of Roman military 
installations and early-modern / modern literary responses to Roman 
sites; 2) the interpretation of historical material to the public, 
including the preparation of display panels, trails and reconstruction 
drawings; 3) shadowing a historian at project meetings and helping to
