SUPERIOR : INFERIOR Class and Status in Roman Britain
Social status was important to the Roman residents of Verulamium. As in modern day St Albans, rich and poor people, upper class and working class, residents and visitors all lived side by side in the town. But how did they show and use their social position? Using archaeological objects and other clues, could you decide who was higher – Superior – and who was lower – Inferior – status, in this interactive exhibition?
Guest curated by Andrew Deathe, this display was part of our Revisiting the Romans series of interventions at the Verulamium Museum.
