Border Archaeological Society's guest speaker in June will be Dr Thea Ravasi, a visiting lecturer in the School of Historical Studies at Newcastle University. Dr Ravasi has a PhD from Pelugia University where she studied the sculptural decoration of Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli.'In her talk, Gods and Heroes: Public and Private in Pompeian Houses, she will discuss why houses were decorated with endless examples of stories from a mythical past.
