Eight programmes on the background of the Roman world
5: Ostia by M. W. Frederiksen, Fellow of Worcester College, Oxford
Ostia lay at the mouth of the river Tiber and had a long history as the harbour town of Rome. The excavation of the last sixty years has revealed many of the buildings and housing blocks of the city centre, and fresh excitement has come quite recently when the remains of the first harbour were unearthed during the construction of Rome's new civil aerodrome. The ruins of Ostia are a rival to those of Pompeii and Herculaneum: they have given a clear and detailed picture of the commercial activities, the social life and the style of living in a town at the height of the Roman Empire. With readings by Tim Seely
Produced by Adrian Johnson
Second broadcast
M. K. Hopkins on Work and Slavery: September 20

Thursday (Series B): The new universe by Martin Rees

JACK OVERHILL recalls his childhood and youth in the Cambridge, of fifty years ago.
The speaker, whose father was a shoemaker-a Snob in the local vernacular-was brought up under conditions of extreme poverty in a Cambridge far removed from the dignified University Town we more often hear about. He survived not only the poverty but a broken home and a nervous breakdown to become an author, lecturer in economics, and champion swimmer.
Produced by Paul Humphreys
