SUMMARY:Black History Lectures III: Lucius Septimus Severus\, Roman Emperor
DESCRIPTION:Join the Museum of Cambridge for a fascinating evening with Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi. \nCarol\, a researcher in the British Windrush generation and Caribbean Folklore\, will share her research on topics of Black British History at the Museum of Cambridge. In a series of in-person lectures on the last Friday of the month\, Carol will explore Black History from the Romans to the Tudors. \nLucius Septimus Severus was the Roman Emperor in Britain from 193 to 211 AD. He was of North African descent from Libya and from a prominent family that already had an established Roman military background. His intention for Britain was to conquer the whole island and subordinate it to Roman Rule. The lecture focuses on his campaigns\, which involve the rebuilding of the forts along Hadrian’s wall. This campaign with the Caledonian tribes led to heavy losses on the roman side. The lecture will also explore the building of the Roman Fort at Carpow on Troy and his creation of the two provinces in England that are recognised as the North/South divide as in Northern England and Southern England. \nDr Carol Brown-Leonardi \nDr Carol Brown-Leonardi works at the Open University. Since 2000 Dr Brown-Leonardi has carried out long-term fieldwork and research projects on political discourse and non-renewable resources in the Mackenzie Valley\, Canada and research on reindeer racing and training race reindeer in Northern Finland. Her current research investigates how Britain’s exit from the European Union has affected the perceptions and decision-making of mixed-nationality couples (British and Finnish) to stay and live permanently in Finland or the United Kingdom. Carol’s most recent work focuses on the Windrush deportee’s experience following the hostile environment policy to understand the levels of inclusion and exclusion experienced in both British and Caribbean society. Carol is interested in local history and contributed to the research for the Equiano Bridge Project. \nTickets \nTickets are available via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/black-history-lectures-iii-lucius-septimus-severus-roman-emperor-tickets-657579587247?aff=oddtdtcreator \nAccessibility  \nYou can also read about our accessibility information on our website.
