IN PREPARATION

A paper on the Medieval use of gems written with John Cherry is in press in a forthcoming BM monograph; I have been preparing a paper together with Penny Coombe and Kevin Hayward on Roman sculpture from Stanwick, Northants; with Penny Coombe, a further paper on the Inveresk Mithraeum; with Professor Martin Biddle a paper on finds made in the Western suburb of Winchester when the railway cutting was dug in the 1830s, all of which are almost ready for the press. I am also hoping to complete with Kate Adcock and Grahame Soffe an edited volume on Roman villas in Britain in the next few months.

I continue to be active in research and disseminating knowledge. I have not included a number of articles in the ARA Bulletin and ARA News which I hope will reach a wider audience. In the past fortnight I have lectured in Devizes Museum on a newly found relief of the three Fates /Morai/Parcae ; and on Medieval seals at the Oxfordshire Museum as well as taking part in a conversation on inscriptions and accompanying sculptural reliefs at my own college, Wolfson; and I have been booked to lecture on Roman religion in Dorset in May and on Roman cameos to the Jewellery Historians next January..Apart from this I am always very open to help anyone with an interest in the areas of my expertise.

Outside strictly Academic Activities I am active in Animal Ethics, a Fellw of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics and Vice President of the Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals.

I am an ordained Anglican priest in the Osney Benefice.
