About

The exhibition features a stunning collection of Roman artefacts from across South Essex, many of which are being displayed publicly for the very first time! While other notable Roman sites in Essex, such as Colchester and Chelmsford, have received significant attention, 'Settling in Southend' aims to spotlight the lesser-known but equally important Roman history of our city. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore artefacts unearthed from Roman settlements spanning from Prittlewell to Wickford, Shoebury to Rayleigh. Unlike traditional narratives focusing solely on battles, revolts and conquest, this exhibition delves into the domestic, offering glimpses into the personal and familiar aspects of Roman life.
