Join the Department of Classics at King’s College London for a programme of talks and discussions designed for Classics teachers, where we will be exploring a piece of Roman history discovered right here in Central London – the Mithras Temple.

The audience and the discussions will involve King’s academics, experienced school teachers and students who have just finished the King's Classics PGCE course. It will also feature a roundtable discussion, during which we will discuss further questions that came up during the talks and any other issues that participants would like to address and debate.

The workshop will be followed by a drinks reception with lecturers from the King’s Department of Classics
