Dr Jane Masséglia will present: “The Ketton Mosaic, How Troy came to Roman Rutland”
Dr Jane Masséglia is an Associate Professor of Ancient History and part of the joint University of Leicester-Historic England team responsible for the publication and presentation of the Roman villa complex discovered in Rutland in 2020. Her work focuses on the great Trojan War mosaic excavated on the site by the University in 2021, and which featured in Alice Roberts’ documentary TV series, Digging for Britain. Her talk will explain which parts of the Trojan War story the mosaic depicts, where the story originated, and even suggest how it might have reached Roman Britain.

Time: The talk will start at 7pm. Refreshments will be available from 6.45pm.
Tickets: Entry is FREE for Bristol Classical Association members, university students and school pupils. Others will be asked to contribute £5 on the night. Registration for the talk can be made via Eventbrite (payment is not required to register).
