Acknowledgements

The funding for ‘Learning from the Ancient Romans’ has been generously provided by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thank you to them and the players of the Nation Lottery. Without their support, this project would not have been able to go ahead.

We’d like to thank Kevin from Ancient Britain for his enthusiastic contributions to the project and the participants’ learning.

We’d also like to thank Jane Sammells for sharing her excellent cooking and food history knowledge, Alex Coyle for working with our participants to create an authentic Roman-inspired toga, and Darren Witty, the Witty Smith, for sharing his blacksmithing skills.

This project has been professionally documented by Art Matters Now in various creative forms. These include seven short lms, this publication and a 360-degree digital exhibition. To see more of Art Matters Now’s work, visit artmattersnow.org.uk
