Description
From TV to film, Vikings have been storming screens around the world. But what about the real Vikings? On Friday, February 6, 2015, from 9AM to 1PM in Commons Room 331, Dr. Lila Kopar, Director of the Center for Medieval and Byzantine Studies at Catholic University, will present a workshop entitled, "The World of the Vikings Through Ten Objects." It will offer an introduction to the material culture, history, literature, language, and religion of early medieval Scandinavia, concluding with a report on recent excavations at Barnburgh Castle in the UK. We look forward to seeing our students at this exciting event as we discover and re-discover the wonderful world of the Vikings.
