Upcoming program at Dearborn Public Library
by Henry Fischer 28 Jul '22

28 Jul '22

Hi everyone, We have an upcoming online program at Dearborn Public Library: Londinium: Roman London Saturday, July 30, 10 am EST Circa 50 CE the Romans founded the city of Londinium in the marshy Thames Valley, building the first iteration of what would become London. The city survived fire and rebellion, was home to up to 60,000 people and grew from a small trading port to the provincial capital of Britain. Ellen Green explores what day to day life would have been like in the city and how archaeologists are able to reconstruct the urban landscape from what was left behind. Ellen Green is a PhD researcher at the University of Reading in England, specializing in human remains. Prior to her return to academia she was a field archaeologist in London for 5 years, and she has worked on sites from every period in the city's history. She developed a love of archaeology through many visits to Roman ruins and castles in the UK over many vacations, which inspired a fascination with the past. She is also a big fan of Indiana Jones. If you would like to register, please visit the event calendar at dearbornlibrary.org. A Zoom link will be sent to your email or phone once you are registered. Thank you and have a good one, Henry Henry Fischer Librarian I Dearborn Public Library 16301 Michigan Ave. Dearborn, MI 48126 (313) 943-2341 dearbornlibrary.org https://twitter.com/DearbornLibrary https://www.instagram.com/dearbornlibrary/ https://www.facebook.com/dearbornpubliclibrary
