SUMMARY:Rituals & Rubbish in Roman Rivers
DESCRIPTION:Dr Philippa Walton\nUniversity of Leicester \nThis talk\, delivered by Dr Philippa Walton\, explores why so many Roman objects were deposited at bridges and river crossings throughout the Roman world. Were they offerings to the gods or did rivers represent convenient rubbish dumps? \nWe will zoom in on the impressive finds recovered from the River Tees at Piercebridge in County Durham and the River Moselle at Trier in Germany and explore how these objects help us answer this question\, while revealing all sorts of interesting information about the people responsible for their deposition. \nPhilippa has worked as an archaeologist for more than twenty five years. She is particularly interested in Roman coinage and objects and what they can tell us about everyday life in the Roman world. You may recognise her from the popular TV show Time Team\, where she regularly appeared as a Roman finds expert. \nFree to Friends of Roman Aldborough members. Visitors £7.50
