Today, we're discussing a new archaeological excavation that is hoped to help expand our understanding of Roman occupation in the south-east of England. Richborough Roman Fort in Kent is perhaps one of the most symbolically important Roman sites in Britain, as it marked both the beginning and the end of Roman rule. And given that it witnessed these dramatic events, it seems only fitting that archaeologists will be revisiting the remains of its amphitheatre for clues about Richborough's past. Joining us to discuss the excavation and the site's history are senior properties historian Paul Pattison and senior archaeologist for Historic England Tony Willmott.

During this episode, we are delighted to have Paul Pattison on the show. Paul is a Husband, a farther, a landlord, an offshore oil and gas worker, a currency trader, and an entrepreneur with a successful business, Kilted Coffee, which he set up in 2018 with his wife. Paul and his wife are both lovers of coffee and they noticed a gap in the market, the lack of excellent coffee in their home town and the demand for tasty, speciality coffee from their friends and the wider community. They researched the possibility of importing speciality coffee and what was required for the distribution; they assessed the numbers and created a business plan and launched Kilted coffee in 2018, and today it is a thriving little business. I wanted to bring Paul on the show because I believe business start-ups and entrepreneurship will explode over the next ten years.
