Building and Exploring Roman Chester in Minecraft - Online Talk

Join archaeologist, Ben Edwards, inside a Minecraft recreation of Roman Chester to hear about its creation and explore the fortress. 

Dr Ben Edwards has been building an accurate reconstruction of Roman Chester in the popular computer game Minecraft. Based on excavated evidence from within the walls of Chester, but also from the wider Roman town and amphitheatre, Dr Edwards has rebuilt the Severan-period fort and extra-mural settlement. Thanks to accurate landscape models, the Roman town is placed within a true reconstruction of the landscape around Chester on the 3rd Century AD, including the original course of the River Dee.
