A Lecture by James Renshaw

The Persian Empire exploded into life in the middle of the 6th Century BC and was the largest empire in the world for the next two centuries. Around 515 BC its third great king, Darius I, commissioned a vast new city with his grand palace at its centre. This lecture explores the wonder of Persepolis, and what the great palace and its art can tell us about the ideology of this extraordinary and influential empire.

Where & When: The Sacred Heart Church Hall on Wednesday 9th April at 8 pm (coffee from 7.30 pm). Also available on Zoom.

Tickets: Members free. Visitors & guests: £10
