Elizabeth Macaulay-Lewis, Oxford University will present an illustrated lecture "The Gardens of the Emperor: exploring and reconstructing the gardens of Hadrian’s Villa"

From his famous wall in the North of England to his grand mausoleum, Castel San-Anglo, which rivaled Augustus’ tomb just across the Tiber, the Emperor Hadrian erected innovative and exceptional architecture that have enchanted both the archaeologist and the lay-man. His villa, located at Tivoli, west of Rome, has long attracted visitors and scholars alike; it is one of the most significant sites of the Roman Empire. In particular scholars have focused on the unique and monumental architecture of the villa, meticulously excavating, documenting and studying these remarkable remains. Dr. Macaulay-Lewis is part of the team that is building a Virtual World reconstruction of Hadrian’s Villa. Websites: http://vwhl.clas.virginia.edu/villa.html
