For December’s free talk, we’re welcoming back geologist and author Ian Jackson (Cumbria Rocks) to coincide with the release of his new book The Rocks at the Edge of Empire.
Ian’s new book explores 50 extraordinary, rocky places that tell the story of the Romans and the landscape of the northern frontier of the empire. In the talk he will explore how the landscape the Romans encountered came to be, how rocks determined their defensive decisions, and how they exploited and traded the natural resources the area had to offer.
Copies of the new book will be available to purchase on the day.
The talk is completely free, but spaces are limited so we recommend booking in advance.
