RIP one of the true greats of Romano-British archaeology. Used to write to me as 'Dear Bishop' (which was apparently an honour; not so good would have been 'Dear Mr/Dr Bishop'). One of the few British archaeologists who has a lookalike mannekin (standing on a mosaic in Canterbury Roman Museum). I doubt there's time to list the Roman military sites he dug (and, more importantly, published).
