AWH US lecture tour

Those of you in the US may have a chance to hear Andrew Wallace-Hadrill talk about Herculaneum during the next month. Here are the dates and details of his lecture tour:
'Herculaneum: Living with Catastrophe'. 
Herculaneum, which shared the fate of Pompeii in the eruption of Vesuvius, has been the object of a major conservation campaign sponsored by Packard Humanities Institute and directed by Dr. Wallace-Hadrill since 2001. New discoveries made in the course of the project provide dramatic evidence for major geological activity dating back a century before the eruption, and to a long drawn-out catastrophe with which the inhabitants lived.
