First Legion - Life in the Roman Army (British Museum exhibition)


Listen Later

What do tweezers and tent flaps have in common? Or purses and party invitations? Barrels and brooches? Give up yet...? The Roman army of course! 
In March 2024 we visited the British Museum exhibition, "Legion: life in the Roman army". There was so much to see that instead of our usual exhibition-based bonus episode, we decided to make a miniseries instead.
Here we have the first episode in that series - head over to X, Instagram or our website to look at the accompanying photos:

If you're reading this before 23rd June 2024 then you still have time to catch the exhibition: https://www.britishmuseum.org/exhibitions/legion-life-roman-army
Music credit goes to our resident composer Alice Morgan, (you can find Alice on Instagram - missalicekeys).
Finally, if you like what you hear then don't be shy! Please do take the time to like, rate, subscribe and share, as this helps new listeners to find us.
