Looking forward to putting those women ‘on trial’ for this talk LboroSFClassics … I hope they (especially Clodia) get a fairer hearing than Cicero allowed them 😘🤣

I do love an open day, especially when the sun is shining. If you’re on campus, come and see us at the School of Archaeology & Ancient History Building for tours of some of our labs and taster session on Vikings and Romans! We’re just by the Charles Wilson building …

It’s the last of 3 fantastic days here at ClassicsFest2025, in the city closest to my heart, meeting inspiring people from all walks of life, and reflecting on topics inspired by Vittorio Bufacchi’s timely and thought-provoking book on ‘Why Cicero Matters’. A privilege to be involved!
