Ancient myths and Roman treasures, lost loves and haunted relics: historical objects are reimagined in fiction, memoir and poetry – featuring items from the Corinium Museum collection

Coins and weapons, lost jewels and carved faces. A watch with a secret inscription.

An Iron Age horse bridle whispers of old battles, while a Roman god fumes about unfair treatment.

Then a medieval grotesque wreaks havoc with a curse, before an eighteenth century ring reveals its heartbreak, and a painting draws visitors closer to danger …

Full of archaeology and history, mystery and surprises: museum treasures and ancient discoveries inspire this stunning new collection of short stories and poetry

Illustrated with photographs from the Corinium Museum collection. With a foreword by Emma Stuart, Museum Director.
