Résumé : |
Sir Richmond was a British archaeologist who specialized in the Roman period. Born in Rochdale, Lancashire, he was educated at Ruthin School & Corpus Christi College, Oxford, before spending two years (1924–6) at the British School in Rome. Here he developed an interest in Roman military architecture & the methods of the Roman army. This was to form the theme of his research throughout his life. He also gained practical archeological experience working for Mortimer Wheeler at Segontium in Wales. From 1926 to 1930 he was a lecturer in classical archaeology at the Queen's University, Belfast. In 1930, however, he returned to Italy as Director of the British School in Rome. Two years later he had to retire because of ill health & for nearly three years he was without a post. In 1935 he was appointed to a lectureship in Romano-British history in the University of Durham where he remained with only a brief break for National Service until 1956. He was given a personal Chair in 1950, & during his 21 years at Durham carried out numerous excavations along Hadrian's Wall & other sites in the vicinity. In 1956 he was translated to Oxford as the 1st holder of the Chair in the Archeology of the Roman Empire. He was knighted in 1964. During his life he published many books & articles, notably Roman Britain (Penguin, 1955) &, together with R.G. Collingwood, The archaeology of Roman Britain (Methuen, 1930 with several revisions). He also held many offices in learned societies, including that of President of the Society of Antiquaries of London from 4/64 until his death in '65. |
