Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 4: Rebel Emperors of Britannia: The Story of Carausius, Allectus and their Coinage
Q: How did coinage play a role in establishing the legitimacy of Carausius?
Carausius's coinage contained propaganda messages that reinforced his claims as a legitimate emperor, promoting ideas of peace and the restoration of the golden age of Rome, which appealed to the military and citizens alike.
Episode 4: Rebel Emperors of Britannia: The Story of Carausius, Allectus and their Coinage
Q: What makes Carausius particularly fascinating as a historical figure?
Carausius is fascinating because he was a rebel emperor who managed to establish his own coinage and authority in Britain, resisting Roman authority and asserting his identity as a legitimate ruler during a time of turmoil.
Episode 3: Objects of History: From Admiral Nelson's Bloodstained Purse to Typhoon Pilots
Q: Where do you start? What's the process to find the connection between Selby and Bonnie Prince Charlie?
I start with a cup with an inscription that I'm persuaded by but have no evidence to believe. I look into family history and archival documents connecting the Selby family to Charles Edward Stuart and their roles during the Jacobite Rebellion.
