Today's episode is on the Catterick skeleton, the excavated remains of person buried in 4th century CE Roman Britain, identified by archaeologists and the press as a 'transvestite'. Join us to hear about what a bead found in the ground can tell us about gender in local jewellery trends, how press reactions to the skeleton have changed over time, and a bonus ancient Roman board game interlude.
This episode was originally released on our Patreon in early 2024. Some statements, such as those about Eli's thesis progress and the current state of the scholarship, may be outdated.
Check out our website, where you can find our sources, as well as everything there is to know about Queer as Fact.
