Cahill will discuss ongoing excavation at a sanctuary of the Roman imperial cult and its transformation in late antiquity; work in the area believed to be the palace of Croesus and new evidence for the earliest occupation of the city; one of the largest Roman triumphal arches known; and conservation and restoration projects.
The event will be held in Menschel Hall, Lower Level. Please enter the museums via the entrance on Broadway.
