Archaeological Director takes us behind the scenes at Pompeii! 

Join us for the first of the 2024 J.H. Gray Lectures this year given by Gabriel Zuchtriegel, Director General of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii.
Entitled 'The Dark Night of the Soul: Pompeii and Early Christianity' this interesting Roman History lecture discusses the presence of early Christians and Christian symbolism at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in Pompeii, why Pompeii was considered Sin City, evidence from the new dig- including a fascinating section on ancient children's drawings showing that they would likely have been present at gladiatorial games-and where to find more information on the recently controversial Pompeii 'pizza' painting!
