M, H and L modelling the evolution of the birrus Britannicus, which we had seen earlier on the trip in the Chedworth mosaic of Winter.

Our final short excursion was to a stretch of Sarn Helen and the traces of a small Roman fort by this old Roman road. The weather seemed quite fitting!

Some more pictures of the wonderful @NTDolaucothi mines, and a face that some @OratoryAlumni might find familiar!

Another busy day for our GCSE Latinists, with a trip to @NTDolaucothi gold mine, followed by a spot of bowling in Carmarthen and another amphitheatre.

A busy first day of our Latin GCSE trip, with a wonderful tour of @NTChedworth and a visit to Cirencester and its amphitheatre before settling into our bunkhouses in Wales.

This week, the second form has been looking at Pliny’s letters about the eruption of Vesuvius and then using AI to produce images representing scenes from them. The results were… spectacular!
