About this event

Date: Thursday, September 17, 2026Time: 7:00 pm – 8:00 pmLocation: Bata Shoe Museum, 327 Bloor St. W.Tickets: $25 Join us for a fascinating evening with archaeologist Elizabeth Greene, whose extensive research at Vindolanda has helped reshape our understanding of life on the edge of the Roman Empire. Drawing on her firsthand excavation experience, Greene will take us behind the scenes of the dig: what it feels like to carefully unearth history layer by layer, the challenges of working in the soil of northern England, and the thrill of discovering objects that have not been touched in nearly two millennia. Located just south of Hadrian’s Wall, Vindolanda is one of Britain’s most extraordinary Roman sites, famed for its remarkably preserved artifacts—including leather shoes, writing tablets, and everyday objects that offer intimate glimpses into ancient lives.
