To give you a taster of the fantastic sessions on offer at the HA's annual conference, we've published one of the sessions from the 2022 HA Conference on Rome in the world/the world in Rome with Dr Lucy Donkin.  

In many cultures, earth has been used to represent a place and make it present elsewhere. Donkin's talk explores how medieval and early modern Rome was connected with the rest of the world through the movement of soil to and from the city. Some interpretations of these transfers celebrated Rome’s imperial past or papal present; others challenged and appropriated the city’s authority in times of religious and political change.
