[Michlib-l] Upcoming program at Dearborn Public Library

[Henry Fischer]

Hi everyone,

We have an upcoming online program at Dearborn Public Library:

Londinium: Roman London

Saturday, July 30, 10 am EST

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. Ellen Green
explores 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.

If you would like to register, please visit the event calendar at
dearbornlibrary.org.

A Zoom link will be sent to your email or phone once you are registered.

Thank you and have a good one,

Henry
