Daniel’s talk about ancient and modern heroism brought up some things I had never considered before, such as the similarity between an action-packed, colourful metope and a comic book scene! How interesting! I really enjoyed chatting with some of the students afterwards too!

[Chester Classical Association @ChesterClassic1]

Today @DanielS20854650 delivered a very informative talk at Abbey Gate College, exploring connections between ancient heroes and modern comic book heroes. Lovely to see such engaged students, some very interesting questions asked - thanks to our Chair for also answering some!

@DiBryanHRV @officialnhaynes Definitely an amphitheatre! If you’re interested you can read more about it here: https://t.co/XeIsN5Geyu

[Isabel Sykes @ISabelMMIV_]

@DiBryanHRV @officialnhaynes A theatre is only a semi-circle, while an amphitheatre goes all the way round. The amphitheatre at Chester just looks like a theatre because half of it is still underground!

[Museum of Classical Archaeology @classarch]

Roman hairstyles tell us a lot about Roman people. From their gender, to their class and everything in between.💇🧔

So this Saturday, 23 Sept, 1-3pm, join us as we transform the museum into a Roman barbershop and get hands-on with ancient hair. 💇‍♀️

I was really honoured to be part of this wonderful film celebrating the CA’s work and 120th anniversary. Classics is so important, now more than ever! Really looking forward to continuing my Classics journey and improving accessibility in Chester and beyond! @ISabelMMIV_ #CA120

[Antigone Journal @AntigoneJournal]

The year is 5085, and something truly bizarre has turned up: a plaque of sorts whose text reads as follows:
Te]mporar[y
Bus Sto[p
So what light can UK archaeology shed on this most unusual object from a long-lost age of public transport? 🚌🚏
