Delivered by Zigzag Days, Haltwhistle Partnership & Vindolanda Trust
Health and disability in Roman Times– how might I have fared? is an investigation into Roman medicine by people who know, from personal experience, about health treatments today. Zigzag members visited museums, talked to experts and undertook individual research. This pop-up exhibition is the result. Come and see why we concluded that those Romans were pretty canny…
Exhibition on 7 pop-up banners:
- Focuses on five aspects: Mental health, Herbal remedies, Pandemic, Disability, Staying Healthy and reflects on how things compare today.
- Members of Zigzag Days spent the last 3 months investigating the subject.
- This exhibition is the culmination of their work and will travel to other places, hospitals, libraries, museums etc in 2023.
- Health and Disability in Roman Times is a collaborative project between Zigzag Days and the Vindolanda Trust
