John Fairclough studied Greats at Oxford and worked on the excavation of Iron Age hillforts in the Welsh Borders in the 1960s. He was Museum Education Officer for Suffolk for 25 years and has lectured for the continuing education departments of Cambridge University and the University of East Anglia and for the Workers Educational Association. He is intrigued by the challenge of understanding how the Romans maintained seaways in northern waters and defended the coasts of their British province. He regrets a widespread failure to recognise that the British fleet was a significant Roman naval force, equal in importance to a land-based legion.
