Last month, we held our most successful online Zoom talk of this unusual Covid-affected Winter season. Jim Walker, past president of the Glasgow Archaeological Society, presented an excellent talk on the Antonine Wall to the Society in 2019 and returned in February to tell us about camps, forts, fortlets and signal stations established and used by the Roman army in Perthshire in different, planned military campaigns during the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D.
The subject of this lecture and its relevance to Perthshire attracted the largest audience we have had during this online series, with 110 of the 124 people who expressed an interest in the talk attending on the night, including one in Australia and another in California! With partners watching from the same address, we estimate that over 130 people watched this informative and entertaining talk.
Two versions of the recording of the talk are available to view. The first is approximately one hour long and contains just the talk. The second includes an additional subsequent 30-minute Q&A session providing further supplementary information. Both of these videos can be viewed below:
