We invite you to join our Day School on Saturday March 29 2025 at 13:00 (Dublin time) at the Trinity Long Room Hub.
Exploration of the evidence for ordinary, everyday life can offer a powerful window for engaging and empathising with people in the past. What were their homes like? What do we know about some of the daily rhythms of life such as cooking and eating? And, if away from home, how did families keep in touch. Our 2025 Day School addresses these and other questions using case studies from across the Mediterranean and showcasing textual, archaeological and artistic evidence.
