Queer Romans on the edge(s) – talk by Dr Tatiana Ivleva

About

Discover the stories of same-sex relationships in the Roman world.
We may know about Emperor Hadrian and Antinous but what other queer lives can be uncovered? Did they exist only in Rome, or is there evidence of them in the far provinces of the Empire, such as Roman Britain or in places like Hadrian's Wall?
In this talk by Dr Tatiana Ivleva will examine Roman gravestones and memorials to explore relationships in the ancient world. Some of these monuments suggest close bonds — including same sex partnerships — showing that queer lives were part of everyday life across the Roman world.
