Roman British Women: Claudia Severa.
Natalie Haynes tells the stories of Claudia Severa and other Roman-British women, with guests Professor Llewelyn Morgan and archaeologist Dr Paul Roberts.
Natalie Haynes tells the stories of the handful of Roman-British women whose traces stay with us: a fierce queen, a slave woman freed for love, the so-called 'Ivory Bangle Lady' and Claudia Severa, whose invitation to her friend to her birthday party some two thousand years ago is one of the greatest historical treasures of Roman Britain.
Wooden tablets, ivory (and jet) bangles and a romantic gravestone inscription from South Shields. Natalie is joined by guests Professor Llewelyn Morgan and archaeologist Dr Paul Roberts.
Stand up comedy, ancient details and a lot of fascinating gossip from a couple of thousand years ago.
Producer...Mary Ward-Lowery
