Show Notes
Comedian Fern Brady takes her boyfriend Conor to the Roman Baths in Bath, where they discover how the Romans’ ‘curse tablets’ compare to irate Facebook statuses of today, look at the representation of sexuality in Roman times, and even get to taste a sample of the water. During their visit they consider what connects us with the Romans through time, and how people have used the Baths as a meeting place for thousands of years.
Series 5 of Meet Me at the Museum was recorded in accordance with Covid-19 guidelines. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
