On Saturday 21st March, I attended a Classics workshop in Trinity College along with several other second and third years. There were three different sections to the workshop, Roman coins, Greek and Latin and Roman comedy. I enjoyed the Roman coins section the most as we got to hold actual coins and identify what was on them. I also enjoyed learning the Greek alphabet and seeing pictures of recreations of Roman theatre masks. We also got to write our names in both Latin and Greek. The day was made even more enjoyable by spot prizes and a table of refreshments.
