Coffee and Classics
Coffee and Classics is a regular morning tea for members of PhiloLogie and UC Classoc. Each session includes a behind-the-scenes peek in the museum, examining an object or two from the collection, and the chance to enjoy a spot of coffee and cake together.
NEXT SESSION: July 2026
This month – Senior Lecturer Gary Morrison will dive into “(Messy) Relationships and Roman Inscriptions” and demonstrate that, when you read between the lines, relationships between lovers and families could be just as complicated in the ancient world as they can be today.
Gary Morrison is a social historian with the UC Department of Classics. His research speciality is different peoples living in antiquity: who they were, how they lived, and their day-to-day reality. His teaching and research analyses, investigates and presents issues relating to Roman power, relationships, demography, status, households, living conditions, urban infrastructure, work — perhaps best summed up as the ‘realities of life’.
