On Thursday 9th June, from 5 - 6pm, we are very pleased to welcome Adam Parker, Roman archaeologist and the Assistant Curator
of Archaeology at the Yorkshire Museum, to deliver a community talk.
He will be speaking about the archaeology of magic in Roman
Britain. His presentation will introduce how people protected themselves
from bad luck, demons and the Evil Eye by using magical
objects, lucky jewellery, spells, chants, and sexual imagery in the
first to fourth centuries AD.
The talk is of particular interest to students of Classics, History and anyone with an interest in Archaeology, but all are very welcome. The talk will last for 30 minutes and be followed by drinks and questions.
To book, please speak to myself or Mr Gimson, or email info@irisproject.org.uk
The talk will take place in the Classics Centre (L14).
