Tues. 15th Oct. - 19:30 Dore Old School. "Rome wasn't built in an evening" - a video presentation introduced by Matthew Love.
In 2011 a television documentary series, “Rome wasn’t built in day” followed the progress of a team of builders as they tried to use only ancient tools and techniques to construct a replica Roman villa at Wroxeter, Shropshire. In a cut-down edit version of the broadcast series, we will see how plaster and bricks are made and baked; the cutting, shaping and erection of the timber frame; techniques used for constructing and decorating floors and walls; how to make a window; the design and installation of the hypocaust system; along
with associated Roman beliefs and customs.
