This term we will be focusing on the two Roman modules on the Class Civ examination syllabus, and we are lucky that on Thursday 9th June, from 5 - 5.30pm, Adam Parker, Roman archaeologist and the Assistant Curator
of Archaeology at the Yorkshire Museum, is coming to Cheney 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.
Therefore instead of usual our Wednesday lesson, I would really like Y12 Class Civ students to attend this talk, which will the perfect start to our term on Roman beliefs and society.
The talk will be in L14 from 5 - 5.30pm this Thursday followed by drinks. I hope that most of you will be able to make this - please come and find me to let me know if you're not able to attend.
Many thanks!
