With Dr Paul Roberts, Research Keeper of Antiquities at the Ashmolean

In this talk you will take a look through the newly-redisplayed galleries of 'Early Italy' and 'Rome and the Roman Empire' at the Ashmolean Museum with curator Dr Paul Roberts.

These galleries were already full of wonderful things, but with new displays, new thoughts – and new lighting – they will shine even brighter, like these treasures below.

The Asmmolean's revamped Rome galleries re-open in May this year. They are currently closed for the renovation work.

This talk is part of our Create & Transform season of events. It also marks our summer Festival of Archaeology.
