Dr Polak will come to London from Radboud University (Netherlands), where is working as a lecturer in Roman Archaeology carrying on the established research tradition of that department in Roman military matters. Spread the word about this not-to-be-missed opportunity to listen to his talk and ask him questions about his research.

We are seeking supporters with the aim of expanding our assistance and influence in the UK Heritage Sector and continuing to represent the UK as a leading promoter of cultural heritage ideas and practices at the International level.
Increasingly cultural heritage is seen as an essential dimension of our lives and an important contributor to sustainable development. The promotion of cultural heritage is now no longer just a single discipline or related to discrete sites, but a crucial facet of many other disciplines and part of most urban and rural landscapes.
In order to develop the new opportunities by mainstreaming cultural heritage, we need to expand the range of our activities, form links with universities and other institutions, and expand our membership to work on this wider canvas.
