The Long Goodbye: How the Roman Empire ended
This course was meeting at The Manchester Museum on Oxford Road, 14.45 on Wednesdays.
In our first session we started looking at the crises of the Second Century AD, especially the spectacularly rapid turnover of emperors.
We also looked at the way Romans and their 'opposites', barabrians, have been portrayed in art and how this has subtly influenced modern perception of the period.

Hillforts in the snow! This is proper Christmas archaeology. Aerial photos taken by Santa? You know it's the truth.

Fabulous article from The Guardian about words related to food and the 'Palaeolothic Diet', including a 20-minute video well worth taking the time to watch.
