It should be warned in uni that becoming an archaeologist would have you spoiling films for your friends. No one wants to hear about the odd choice of armours Gladiator 2 or Pedro Pascal's spatha, let alone skipping over Septimius Severus and invading Numidia 250 years after it was annexed.

ROYSCast will be returning in the new year, but until then all our previous episodes are available here and on all other podcast providers

If you're interested in appearing on an episode next year to talk about your work on any part of Yorkshire's past, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
