One of the most exciting periods of Britain’s history under the Romans remains largely unknown today. Yet, at the end of third century AD, two men successively ruled the island, together with parts of the Continental coast, as emperors of Britannia for a period of ten years. They minted their own coins, initiated Britain’s first truly integrated defence system and successfully repelled an invasion from the mighty Roman empire. This is the story of Carausius and Allectus – the rebel emperors of Britannia.

Graham Barker is an independent researcher with a keen interest in Roman history of the 3rd Century AD. His book on Roman coinage, Imperial Legitimation, was published by Spink in 2020. Dr Sam Moorhead is the National Finds Adviser for Ancient Coins in the Portable Antiquities Scheme at the British Museum, currently completing the new Roman Imperial Coinage volume on Carausius and Allectus. Sam has published numerous books and articles on Roman history and coinage.
