MARCUS is host to a number of smaller reading and discussion groups focused on antiquity and the middle ages. Our regular groups are currently the Ancient Greek Reading Group, the Ancient Novels Reading Group, the Late Antiquity Reading Group and the Medieval French Reading Group.
If you run a reading or discussion group and would like information about the group and upcoming events to be posted on our site, please email Alyx Mattison (a.mattison@sheffield.ac.uk).
