The Classical Association is hosting a lecture titled "Caroline Barron's talk" on Monday 1st May at 6pm. The event will take place at The Lit & Phil in Newcastle, located at 23 Westgate Road, Newcastle, NE1 1SE. This informative talk, titled "'A dupe to the puffs and tricks of all kinds of dealers!' Fake Latin inscriptions and their Collection in Eighteenth Century England," will delve into the fascinating world of fake Latin inscriptions that were created and sold during the eighteenth century. These forgeries were targeted towards English Grand Tourists visiting Italy, who believed they were acquiring genuine antiquities. The lecture will explore the types of inscriptions that were faked, how they were perceived by collectors, and how they are identified as forgeries today. By examining the motivations of both Italian forgers and British collectors, the talk aims to understand why this period was particularly susceptible to epigraphic forgery. This event is part of the LIVE Lit & Phil series and is free to attend. If you prefer to book over the phone, please call the Library Desk team at 0191 232 0192. Additionally, there is no set ticket price for this event, but donations to support The Lit & Phil's work are greatly appreciated.
