Women doing everything, everywhere, all at once...

Women doing everything, everywhere, all at once... was a unique opportunity to meet the women archaeologists of the 1930s who brought Verulamium to life and four of the women who populated this ancient landscape 2000 years ago. 

With authentic mud splattered dig notebooks and diaries, hastily typed telegrams and frozen in time photography, we discovered the inspirational female archaeologists of the 1930s Verulamium dig site!

We also met four amazing real Iron Age and Romanised women who left their imprint in the archaeological record. Heard their voices echo from the past and listened to spine tingling musical instruments, war horns and marching armies. 

Boudica you might think you know, she is legendary. But did you meet Regina, Flavia or Sabina?

Guest curated by Lexi Diggins, this display was part of our Revisiting the Romans series of interventions at the Verulamium Museum.
