SUMMARY:UCL Classics Play 2020: Aristophanes' Frogs
DESCRIPTION:12th-14th February 2020 \n \n\nIdealistic thoughts of good peace terms? General critiques of political policy? Citizens rejecting the leadership to whom it now follows? Nearly 2\,500 years later and still the political themes present in Aristophanes’ Frogs are of great pertinence to us today. Yet\, with our millennial majority rapidly transforming society\, is the ‘new’ directing us towards a Utopia of tomorrow\, or once again leading us astray from a clear and direct path to success?\n\n \n\nSet within the backdrop of the artistic and social movement of Futurism\, UCL’s 2020 Dionysus and Xanthius will be endeavouring to save their empty and artless world with the retrieval of a newer and younger rap artist Eu-RIP-ides. Yet after the parties\, obscenities and confusion of identities\, is it the new or old ways that are left for terminal decline?\n\n \n\nThere will be a series of pre-performance lectures ahead of all evening performances. Please note\, these will take place at E28 Harrie Massey Lecture theatre\, 25 Gordon Street\, and not at the Bloomsbury Theatre. Lectures are free but booking is essential. Please book via the link below.\n\n \n\nFurther information and to book.

SUMMARY:OCR Classics in 20 British Museum Objects
DESCRIPTION:This programme of lectures is designed to support students and teachers taking GCSE and A level Classics Civilisation and Ancient History qualifications\, and is coordinated by Advocating Classical Education and the British Museum.\n\nFor all further information and to book go to: https://www.britishmuseum.org/school-lecture-classical-civilisation-and-ancient-history\n\nTroy: the World of the Hero\n\nFor Teachers \n\nThe British Museum’s exhibition on the ancient city of Troy reveals thrilling new dimensions on several components of the OCR qualification in both Classical Civilisation and Ancient History\, especially World of the Hero\, The Homeric World\, War and Warfare\, and Foundations of Rome. Teachers are invited to an event run by the Museum in partnership with the ACE Advocating Classics Education initiative at King’s College London. This combines a lecture by Professor Edith Hall on Homeric and Vergillian ideas of the hero with a free visit to the exhibition.\n\nMonday 13 January 2020            14.30 — 15.30\n\n\n\n\n\nOCR Classics in 20 British Museum Objects\n\nFor students and teachers\n\nThe British Museum houses a spectacular range of the objects prescribed in many of the components of the OCR qualifications in Classical Civilisation and Ancient History\, including the Parthenon sculptures\, the Cyrus Cylinder\, and images of Cleopatra. This event\, run in partnership by the Museum and the ACE Advocating Classics Education initiative at King’s College London\, provides teachers and their students with an exciting opportunity to look at\, learn about these objects—along with others relevant to the components—in the company of academic experts with rich experience of the OCR specifications.\n\nMonday 24 February 2020\n\n\n 	Session 1  GCSE Classical Civilisations              10.30 – 11.30\n 	Session 2  GCSE Ancient History                        11.30 – 12.30\n 	Session 3  A level Classical Civilisations             13.00 – 14.00\n 	Session 4  A level Ancient History                       14.00 – 15.00\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoman Britain\n\nFor students and teachers\n\nThe Roman province of Britannia existed for nearly 400 years from the initial Roman invasion in AD 43 to the end of Roman control in the British Isles around AD 411. What impact did Roman rule have on the province? Using objects on display in the British Museum as primary evidence\, this presentation will consider examples of change and continuity during this period of British history and the picture of life in Roman Britain built up by archaeological finds and sites. Just how Roman was Roman Britain?\n\nMonday 16 March 2020            11.00— 12.00\n\nMonday 3 July 2020                 11.00— 12.00
