Rounding off the TRAC 2019 episodes, David is joined by Phil, who served as Head of the TRAC Local Organising Committee, to reflect on the conference and discuss Phil's PhD on Richborough Roman Fort. Phil gives advice for any would-be conference organisers, talks about why Brexit-late Roman Britain analogies don't work, piecing together early 20th century archaeology reports, his time excavating at Silchester, and the possibility of a NSFW spin-off 'Ale and Circuses'.
