“Ooops, I did it again …”. Cicero, the Philippics and the Last-Chance-Saloon

ELLIOT LECTURE – Thursday, 23 JANUARY 2020

The Departments of Classics at Loughborough School Foundation would like to invite parents, teachers, and students to this year’s Elliott Lecture, which will host a lecture given by Nottingham Classical Association.

Dr Ed Bispham, lecturer of Ancient History at Brasenose College, Oxford, is going to talk to us on the topic of “Ooops, I did it again …”.  Cicero, the Philippics and the Last-Chance-Saloon. This lecture will appeal to all students studying Philippics as an A Level set text, however, it will also be of interest to all curious about ancient history as it will offer a brilliant insight into the turbulent end of the Roman Republic.

The lecture will begin at 17:30 and finish at 18:30 and will take place in the Lecture Room at Loughborough Grammar School. There will be refreshments served in Barrow Block from 17:00.

The event is FREE.  For bookings, access information, and other enquiries please email me directly on .

If you are bringing a school party, can you please email Mrs Kelly White () with your booking request and approximate number of students by 18 January 2020.

We hope to see as many of you as possible there.
