The A.R.A. publish a fully coloured Newsletter annually, and we upload copies here on the website for people to view.
The Newsletters on the website are available in PDF format, please click on a link below.
The ARA Newsletter has been in production for over a decade, during which time it has expanded and undergone changes and improvements. The changes include a move to colour printing and the inclusions of articles as well as the News round-up. The earliest Newsletters were issued under the remit of the Roman Research Trust Friends and as such are not part of the ARA archive.
The Newsletter serves to keep the membership up to date with recent Roman news and with the ongoing activities of the ARA. It welcomes input from everyone.
It should be noted that some sections of the Newsletters contain sensitive information of either a personal or fiscal nature and as such have been redacted in the online versions, which are available for general viewing.
ARA Bulletin Disclaimer. All articles are under the copyright of the ARA unless specified otherwise and all rights are reserved. © Association for Roman Archaeology. All authors should be credited and acknowledged. All offers and information were accurate at the time of publication but will no longer be valid after that date.
