Crime writer Ruth Downie goes in search of the stories that slipped through the gaps of history in Roman Britain. Discover bizarre Roman medical cures, find out why archaeology is like criminal investigation, and why nobody can tell you a good Ancient British joke.

This event is part of the Eboracum Roman Festival.

The talk will take place in the Marriot Room at the York Explore Library and Archive.

£6 / £5 Yorkcard holders.
