Exhibitions of the British Museum in 2024
Legion life in the Roman army
|
8 July-18 August 2024
|
Experience Rome’s war machine through the people who knew it best. Expansive yet deeply personal, this exhibition transports you through the life and service of a real Roman soldier, Claudius Terentianus, from enlistment and campaigns to enforcing occupation then finally retirement. Objects include letters written on papyri and the Vindolanda tablets, revealing first-hand what daily life was like for soldiers and the women, children and enslaved people who accompanied them. | This masterpiece is considered a milestone in Chinese painting history. Traditionally attributed to Gu Kaizhi (about AD345-406), it probably dates to between AD 400 and700. Due to conservation precautions, it can only be displayed for six weeks a year. The Admonitions Scroll depicts a poetic text composed by an official Zhang Hua（about AD 232-300）aimed at correcting the behaviour of an empress. The Scroll carries inscriptions (题词) by later collectors including the Qianlong emperor. |
