The British School at Rome is very sad to learn of the death of Professor Rosamond McKitterick. Rosamond was an alumna and a long-standing supporter of the School, including in her role as a member (2009–11) and then Chair (2012–22) of the Faculty of Archaeology, History and Letters and as member of the Council of Trustees.

Rosamond was also a major donor to the BSR, supporting research projects and acquisitions in memory of her sister Dr Judith Maitland, most recently the Roman Society Project (https://researchprojects.bsr.ac.uk/s/roman-society/page/home).

She visited us regularly and many of our residents benefited from her informative and enjoyable excursions across Rome, always led on foot and at a tremendous pace. Most recently she had joined our Ashby Patrons Scheme and was looking forward to a visit in the autumn. She will be much missed.
