Leeds Museum and West Yorkshire Heritage have just contacted me and asked if we can advertise a huge Roman Exhibition thats son to arrive in Leeds, West Yorkshire - so here it is! :) Roman Empire: Power & People Leeds City Museum, 20 September 2014 – 4 January 2015 FREE EXHIBITION Roman Empire: Power & People brings together over 160 stunning pieces from the British Museum to explore the story of one of the most powerful empires the world has ever seen. Highlights include sculpture from the villas of the Emperors Tiberius and Hadrian, coins from the famous Hoxne treasure, beautiful jewellery and even near-perfectly preserved children’s clothing from Roman Egypt. The exhibition explores the wealth, power and organisation of the Empire, but also how the Romans viewed their provinces and other peoples. Religious, military and personal objects give an insight into the lives of people across the Empire, from northern Britain to Egypt and the Middle East. These fascinating objects show how the influences of the many people and places that the Romans came into contact with were absorbed and adapted into the Empire. Roman Empire: Power & People is a free exhibition and opens to the public at Leeds City Museum on 20 September 2014 – 4 January 2015. Leeds City Museum is situated in one of Leeds much loved civic buildings - the Leeds Institute building on Millennium Square. For more information please visit leeds.gov.uk/romanempire
