DISCOVER ROMAN ALCESTER
Roman Alcester is the exciting  exhibition
interpreting and displaying objects from Alcester's Roman past.

Alcester is one of the most investigated Roman small towns in the country, with over 100 archaeological digs in the last 80 years.

Recent excavations have revealed much about the area of the Roman town which would have been outside the boundary wall built in the 3rd century AD.

Come to Roman Alcester and find out what life was like there in Roman times between the 1st and 4th centuries AD.
