Episode VII - The Cork Colosseum
The Colosseum has inspired many artworks, both in modern times and in antiquity, perhaps one of the most unique being made out of cork in the late 1700s by Richard Du Bourg. It's one of a kind, and is now in the archives of Museum Victoria. Guests: Dr Richard Gillespie (Head of Humanities, Museum Victoria) and Dr Rhiannon Evans (Mediterranean Studies, La Trobe University).
