TWO storytellers will be speaking to guests during this year's Eboracum Roman Festival at the Yorkshire Museum.
Professor, best-selling author and popular broadcaster, Joann Fletcher, will be opening the festival with a discussion on Ancient Egypt in Roman Yorkshire on Wednesday, June 1.
She will be followed on June 3 and June 4 by Caroline Lawrence, the best-selling children’s author of the Roman Mysteries, which has since been made into a popular children’s programme on CBBC.
Professor Fletcher examines the way in which Egypt’s ancient culture spread through the county as far as York, affecting not only its political and religious life but its funerary practices.
