Mapping an Uneven Path: Stories of Health and Disability at Verulamium
This exhibition explores the ways in which Romans practiced and understood medicine and healing, as well as their cultural attitudes towards disability.
Through material evidence, literary sources and the contemporary dialogues of local disabled people, discover how these rich and nuanced histories help us to not only understand the past, but also our present.
Guest curated by Kyle Lewis Jordan, this display is part of our Revisiting the Romans series of interventions at the Verulamium Museum.
