This week, we\u2019re joined by curator of collections Cameron Moffett and curator of collections (Hadrian\u2019s Wall & the North East) Frances McIntosh to discover what we know about the Romans\u2019 beliefs in magic, superstitions and the \u2018Evil Eye\u2019.\n\nAnd we\u2019ll look at the evidence for these at English Heritage sites, including the discovery of some rather surprising objects thought to protect the holder against bad luck.\n\nTo read more about Hadrian\u2019s Wall, go to www.english-heritage.org.uk/hadrianswall\nTo discover more about Wroxeter Roman City, go to www.english-heritage.org.uk/wroxeter\nLearn more about your ad choices.
