The Project Orpheus Partnership Conference will bring together current and existing research on Orpheus and Orpheus mosaics in Britain. Guest speakers include Professor Richard Miles, Professor Mark Horton, Professor Jenny Mann and Stephen R. Cosh, who will help to celebrate Orpheus through heritage, literature, art and archaeology.

• Professor Horton has conducted a geophysical survey on Barton Farm, where the Corinium Museum Orpheus was discovered. He explores the question, Why Orpheus?
• Professor Miles is overseeing archaeological excavations at Withington, where another Orpheus mosaic was found. He will be sharing an update on the dig and discoveries so far.
• Stephen Cosh, who co-authored the compendium on Roman Mosaics of Britain, will be speaking about Orpheus mosaics in Britain.
• Professor Mann, author of The Trials of Orpheus, will be appearing virtually to talk about the literature of the Orpheus Myth.

The conference is made possible by funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and is presented in partnership with the Corinium Museum, Cirencester Archaeological and Historical Society (CAHS) and Cotswold Archaeology as part of Project Orpheus, a year-long celebration of all things Orpheus.

Conference tickets cost £20 or £15 for members of the museum, the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society and CAHS, which will include tea and coffee.
