We are very fortunate that one of the UK's leading iconographers, Anthony Beeson, will be giving a talk at Boxford Village Hall on Saturday 3rd March at 7pm on 'The Triumph of Bellerophon: The Boxford Mosaic, a unique survival from Roman Britain'. This mosaic was discovered last summer by locals supported by local archaeological groups, overseen by professionals; work undertaken as part of the Boxford History Project, and has been described by experts as the most important discovery of a Roman mosaic in Britain in the last 50 years.
Anthony Beeson is an acknowledged Classical iconographer and an expert in Roman and Greek art and architecture. He is also the Hon Archivist of the Association for Roman Archaeology and a member of the Association for the Study and Preservation of Roman Mosaics. He is a writer and former Art Librarian at Bristol City Libraries, and in 1999 reassembled the Orpheus Mosaic in Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery.
Places will be limited on a first come, first served basis as we are expecting a large audience, so we must have an idea of numbers attending. Please contact Joy Appleton email joy@appleton.uk.net to book a seat at this event.
