Description
Join the AIA for a fascinating evening with Prof. Alison Futrell as she gives the last AIA Archaeology Hour lecture of 2025: "The People's Arena."
This presentation will be given at 7pm Central online via Zoom.
Mass events in the Colosseum were highly visible performances of Rome’s imperial power. But how did the arena impact the lives of ordinary individuals? This talk explores evidence for the experiences of the people in the sands, the seats, and the substructures, beyond the emperor’s box.
All registrants will be sent an email after the webinar with a link to the recording.
