Jay Ingate stops by to talk about his research on water in the Roman world and his upcoming book on the subject. How important was water, not only practically, but spiritually and politically in the Roman World? Why have people looked down on the aqueducts of Roman Britain? And how did Jay get into this area of study in the first place?

We also talk about the Roman world in film and TV, why Jay is the Chief O'Brien of archaeology, whether the film Highlander holds up, and how Jay was the first person to truly appreciate Matthew Mcconaughey's acting talents.

Jay Ingate is a lecture in archaeology and archaeological theory at Canterbury Christchurch University.
