Description

Join us for The Edges of the Roman Empire, a dynamic lecture with Dr. Kate Cooper, Mirkopoulos Associate Curator of Ancient Greece & Rome at the Royal Ontario Museum.

From Britain to Syria to North Africa, explore what life was like for the communities living on the frontiers of the Roman Empire.

This is a great event for history lovers, educators, and anyone curious about the complexities of empire and cultural exchange.
