Britain's What's On Event Guide
Recollections of Imperial Rome in Anglo-Saxon Art
An Evening Lecture by Amy Jeffs
When the Anglo-Saxons first arrived on Britain's shores, legends of the Roman Empire were nourished by encounters with ruined 'works of giants.' At the same time, pockets of Roman cultural legacy still survived among the Britons.

The art, of which the ruling class were patrons, speaks of imperium. Join Amy
