Classics Summer School Lampeter UWTSD

Sorry to inform you that there won't be a Classics Summer School in Lampeter in 2017.

Our third evening lecture during our Classics Summer School in Celtic & Venetic Lampeter. Fascinating paper by Simon Rodway from Aberystwyth University on "Celticity", Celtomania, Celto-scepticism from the Bronze Age to Modern Times!

Brilliant talk by Prof. John Koch (CAWCS, Aberystw.) here in Lampeter this evening as part of our Celtic and Venetic Summer School. Lots of food for thought on the origin of the 'Celts'. Excellent, this combination of linguistic, epigraphic, archaeological and DNA evidence. And I very much liked the Tartessian "Epona Regina" - it's incredible to find this divine 'formula' at such an early date! Thanks a lot, John! More papers to follow in the next days...

Our Summer School on ancient Celtic & Venetic starts on Monday morning, 29 August 2016. There are still a few places left; please contact me asap if you are interested.
Also, as part of our Summer School on ancient Celtic & Venetic languages and epigraphy at UWTSD, Lampeter, we are having three evening lectures on Celts, Celtic language and Celtic identity in Antiquity.

Monday, 29th August, 6pm, Professor John Koch, University of Wales’ Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies:
"New research on Celtic origins"

Tuesday, 30th August, 7.30pm, Dr Ralph Haeussler, UWTSD Lampeter:
