Thetford Treasure: Rethinking the date and interpretation of the Thetford treasure: a fifth century hoard of gold jewellery and silver spoons talk - Professor Ellen Swift
Join Professor Ellen Swift of the University of Kent to hear about her new study of The Thetford Treasure, a Roman treasure unearthed in Thetford, East Anglia. Her work challenges centuries of hypotheses about the decline of paganism in Britain and argues that the Thetford hoard was buried in the early to mid-5th century CE—several decades later than experts had previously supposed.
