Journey to Britannia: From the Heart of Rome to Hadrian’s Wall
An author and journalist with a life-long interest in the ancient world, Bronwen Riley is fascinated by how and why people travel and their experiences and perceptions of the places they visit; she therefore devises her own cultural journeys and literary events, including speaking for BBC History Magazine, English Heritage, the Romanian Cultural Institute, the Transylvanian Book Festival as well as for charity events, local history societies and schools. Her latest book Journey to Britannia, from the Heart of Rome to Hadrian’s Wall AD130 (Head of Zeus) came out in paperback in March 2022 and will form the content of her lecture when she transports us back to trace the route of a newly appointed governor of Britain and his team from Rome to Hadrian’s Wall at the time of the emperor Hadrian. We will travel across borders, countries and civilisations, and we hope Bronwen, a fellow Lancastrian, will enjoy her own trip to the Lytham St Annes seaside!
