[Michlib-l] Upcoming Zoom Event at BPL - Londinium: Roman London

[Mick Howey]

Dear Michlib-l,



Please join us at 3:00 PM on Saturday, January 15, 2022 for Londinium:
Roman London event.



Find the event description below:



Circa 50 CE the Romans founded the city of Londinium in the marshy Thames
Valley, building the first iteration of what would become London. The city
survived fire and rebellion, was home to up to 60,000 people and grew from
a small trading port to the provincial capital of Britain. PhD researcher
Ellen Green returns to BPL to explore what day to day life would have been
like in the city and how archaeologists are able to reconstruct the urban
landscape from what was left behind.

Ellen Green is a PhD researcher at the University of Reading in England,
specializing in human remains. Prior to her return to academia she was a
field archaeologist in London for 5 years, and she has worked on sites from
every period in the city's history. She developed a love of archaeology
through many visits to Roman ruins and castles in the UK over many
vacations, which inspired a fascination with the past. She is also a big
fan of Indiana Jones.



This is a virtual event. Registration is required. Tap
