Classical Art Research Centre Workshop 2018: Ancient Britain and Classical Art - 27-28/09/2018, Oxf


CARC’s next annual workshop, 'Ancient Britain and Classical Art', will be held in the Ioannou Centre, 66 St Giles', Oxford OX1 3LU on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th September. This workshop examines the complex relationship between the visual cultures of ancient Britain and the Graeco-Roman traditions of the Continent and the Mediterranean over a period of a thousand years. Considering not only the period of Roman Britain but also the art of the pre-Roman Iron Age and the early Anglo-Saxon period, the workshop aims to stimulate dialogue across disciplinary boundaries. The abstract is downloadable on the CARC website (www.carc.ox.ac.uk) and details of the programme will follow soon.
