P. K. Baillie Reynolds

Major Paul Kenneth Baillie Reynolds (P.K. Baillie Reynolds) was a British classical scholar and archaeologist who studied specialized Roman troops such as the frumentarii and the vigiles. While at Aberystwyth University, he also directed the excavations of Kanovium, the Roman fort at Caerhun, North Wales, in the 1920s, over a period of four summers. He published a series of reports on these excavations, which were also published as a collection in 1938, and is considered a classic study.[1] He is best known for his book, The Vigiles of Imperial Rome (1926).

During the Second World War, Major Baillie-Reynolds was one of the founding members of the Monuments Men (M.F.A.A.)
