Renshaw

It's Katrina here, and I hope you've enjoyed our expert and residents interviews over the summer.

It's the start of a new academic year, and I'm delighted to welcome back my co-host, James Renshaw, as he'll be talking with an expert in this miniseries focusing on one of the most iconic statues from the ancient world, and indeed, a vital form of Roman imperial propaganda.

Over to you, James.

[upbeat music] Today, I'm delighted to welcome from Birmingham University, Dr. Hannah Cornwell, expert in all things Late Republic and early Empire, and currently working on a book on diplomacy in the Roman world.
