Images of the Roman Landscape

Archive of seminar series: coordinator Ray Laurence

This series ran in the term: October 1996 - April 1997

The Roman Landscape has been the subject of a number of new interpretations by both ancient historians and archaeologists. The seminar series highlighted the changes in approach to the study of landscape of the Roman world that have occurred in the last few years.
